My best guess is to be looking for something on the air by 10 AM. Ill try to send APRS bulletins on the air once I figure out what they are doing. Balloon will be on 144.39 with the callsign W3ADO-11</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> </p><p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="color:black">Due to winds, the balloon will go faster than we can drive from the launch site, so we welcome Hams to be ready for it in advance.</span></p><p class="MsoPlainText">
Coordination will be done by messages and bulletins on 144.39 in the local areas though reliability is uncertain.</p><p class="MsoPlainText"> </p><p class="MsoPlainText">Bob, WB4APR</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div></body></html>
