I am trying to get in touch with someone in the Cheeryville repeaters.   I am a teacher with Bergen County Technical Schools. My kids launched a weather balloon that should have landed at Glen Garden NJ.  The APRS that we used is not locking on to the GPS signal so we have no idea where it is.  We were hoping that someone could help us track it down or at least point us in the right direction as to how to find it.   The APRS should last until 12 noon on the 15th.

the box is transmitting on 144.390 MHz. It has a tactical callsign of BALOON and transmits every 2 minutes.





any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
