<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2>I will be chasing a manned gas balloon out of ABQ, NM
starting around Oct 1. The balloon is participating in a long distance
competition. These races typically fly over most of the midwest states - CO, TX,
NE, KS, IA, SD, ND, MN and occasionally range as far as MA. Each balloon will
carry a APRS tracker. I am wondering about repeater coverage in the midwest. Can
anyone speak to this? Are repeater locations documented
somewhere?</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
