The tracking page is

The https version doesn't work. You're using the https version.?

This shows your flight "FindAlice" but it doesn't show any data for it; as soon as some reports come in, you would get the map there. I see that the most recent report was at 2114Z and presumably you set the page up after that so that's why there's no map.?

How did you track it during flight??

There are some other pages which are able to decode the U4B protocol and which work HISTORICALLY. Meaning you'd be able to get the data for YESTERDAY,?which is an advantage in?this case. The QRP Labs tracking page only operates from the time you set up the flight. The advantage of the QRP Labs page is that it does frequency error correction on all the WSPR receiving stations (other tracking sites don't do this).?

I don't know the details off the top of my head but if you check the picoballoon you should find lots of info. Then you should easily be able to get your 6-char grid subsquare even on yesterday's reports.?

if someone else can get that page to work and send me the URL in case we get some packets tomorrow in sunlight, that would be great, thanks!? Otherwise, if someone can explain why the tracking page shows up with just a mostly blank screen and how to fix, that would be great too (I disabled the adblockber already).
