[aprssig] Southeast Texas Balloon APRS Utilization

[Lynn W. Deffenbaugh (Mr)]

To any that are interested, the APRS Infrastructure utilization plots 
for the three balloon trackers from Southeast Texas are available at:

http://ldeffenb.dnsalias.net/Tracking/Balloons/*

You're looking for K5LSU-11, W5GIX-11, and W5YW-11.  W5GIX-11 and 
K5LSU-11 actually had digi'd packets reach almost to Indianapolis!  
Maybe Bob needs to use balloons for the digi's for the Appalachian Trail 
Golden Packet attempt?

As always, the final dash number represents the zoom level.  The larger 
the number, the higher the resolution.  You'll need to zoom in to see 
the details on the higher numbered plots.

PS.  You can copy and use these images for any purpose, but please do 
NOT publish links to my site as my outbound bandwidth can't stand the 
strain.
