[aprssig] REF: PA Balloon Launch

[spam8mybrain]

Or is THNSAT-9 with the N-overlaid van symbol the balloon? I find it highly unlikely that anyone would be driving a van at 21000 meters altitude. :-)

So where's the balloon? Been looking all morning and haven't seen a trace of it.

Range at altitude should be a few hundred miles.

Balloon will launch about 7 AM from New Market, MD and land somewhere around Intercourse, PA about 2 hours later.  Then the search begins.!  Watch it during your morning commute!

 Please help us capture it.  I can't be there.  Only students.
