Yes, I didn't read all of this because amateur balloons operators are quite well informed of the rules.

To be clear, amateur radio balloonists do this constantly. The w5kub balloon has gone around the world 14 or 15 times.

The fault is not on the operators of the craft, but the owners of billions of dollars of tech equipment and can't find a balloon repeating its own name every 10 minutes.
