The last change in the weather again took care of "a little action". For today, the prognosis of the landing of the Zagreb probe was favorable - the center of Prekmurje. So in the morning I checked to see if the expected landing of the probe was true and the situation was even better than expected. The probe landed about 2 km from me and so I had no choice but to go look for it. Before I leave in a slight darkness and rain, I check on radiosondy.info whether the probe will go looking for S53ZO, which already mentioned yesterday that it will go looking for this probe. I enter my search intention, put on my rubber boots, and head for the landing site. In the meantime, I notice a reminder from the S57WW on the phone so that I don't forget about this probe.

The landing site was marked on the map with trees and fields, and the probe will probably be on the trees so it won’t be too easy. I park nearby and set off on foot along a field path to the landing site. It's raining lightly and it's still really cold outside. The probe is still transmitting and so I get to the landing site without any problems. A cornfield and full-length trees are waiting for me. In the middle of the field lie the remains of a balloon, the string going over the trees is also clearly visible, and at the other end is probably a probe. Before I decide and start pulling on the string, I head through the bushes among the trees. Here on the other side of the cord 50cm above the ground hangs a probe. This time the trees were no obstacle and I can easily pick them all up and head home for my morning coffee.
