As the HF propagation is so crappy, I went to search for old radiosondes. Found one, which had been on the ground for year. It was quite degraded, birds must have borrowed the styrofoam.
To my surprising the PCB was 100% intact, like a new one. Not a single dot of corrosion. Balloon how ever was turned into this paper like very brittle material.

The Lockheed U-2, often referred to as the "Dragon Lady," is a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft that has been in service since the Cold War era. Known for its ability to operate at altitudes above 70,000 feet, the U-2 has played a crucial role in intelligence gathering and surveillance missions for decades.
