> Hi, 
> 
> My name is Drew Bittner, I am a graduate student at WVU in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department. We have a weather balloon with a physics and engineering payload that will be launch from Bruceton Mills early on thursday morning (5a.m. roughly). We will also be acquiring a tracking payload, something with radio frequency bands that can give us an active position of the balloon, but we don't currently have any licensed amateur radio specialists to help us track. 
> 
> I was wondering if anyone from your club would be interested in volunteering and helping out with this. We are in desperate need, and if we can't get at least one person to help, then we cannot launch the balloon. 
> 
> Let me know if this is something your club can do.
