<div>I suspect it might be a few days before we have a resolution to this issue.</div>

<div>The sonde in the air over Adelaide has serial R0230556, but I can't get GPS positions out of its telemetry.</div>

<div>This is going to take me a little bit to figure out. I'm also just about to fly out from Horn Island today.</div>
