All,
    We am in need of hands for the Suntracker flight on Saturday.  We
need three teams as I am planning to launch 50 miles west southwest of
Findlay.  We need a launch team, a base station team and a chase team.
    Let me know if you are interested and available.
    Please forward this to interested persons.
    Thaks,
    Jim KC8MSY

All,
    The 72 hour balloon trajectory forecast for Thursday, 00Z October
10th, using http://weather.uwyo.edu/polar/balloon_traj.html>, prodicts a
balloon impact at 40.57 degrees north, 84.64 degrees east, 52.8 nautical
miles, with a bearing of 117 degrees from the launch postiion.

    Based on today's forecast, we are tentatively planning to launch at
10:00 a.m. local time, Saturday October 12th, from Findlay, Ohio, .40.98
degrees north, 83.61 degrees east.  The launch will be confirmed on
Wednesday, October 9th, and again on Friday, October 11th.
