[GreenKeys] Ballon telemetry

[Steve Garrison]

Just having the same thoughts Larry.  The I-Gate he got into on the last
packet reported wasn't all that far away.

Hope he is able to find it but if it doesn't report anymore it'll be tough.
Hope he has a receiver and is close enough to hear it if it is out of range
of any digis.  Anyone remember if he had an additional beaconing transmitter
on board?

Surprised that the last delivered telemetry to APRS was at 48 K ft. 
Unless there was a prblem with the antenna or transmitter, it should have
continued to display the alt. on down to  a thousand or so ft i would have
thought.

Be curious to find out why the alt. display didn't come down further along
with better positioning data.  At least it got across the interstate and
into a relativly flat desert local.  Hopefully Gil will have an easier time
of finding this one.
