[aprssig] K6RPT Balloon Flight Over - Details On My Website

[Stephen H. Smith]

A complete set of maps from this morning's K6RPT-10 balloon flight is now on my 
web site at:

This is just a quickie paste up -- I'll do a better presentation later tonight 
or tomorrow.

According to my APRS log, the highest altitude achieved (or at least 
transmitted) was 105,443 feet.

The voice repeater was a total loss here in Pasadena.   A local repeater output 
is active on this frequency - in fact I wonder if it may have been getting 
picked up by the balloon once it reached altitude.  It may have timed-out the 
on-board repeater.   Further, at this QTH, this frequency was constantly 
getting blasted by an S-9 intermod mix of one ham repeater and one public 
safety repeater.
