N9UX/KC9EHO High Altitude balloon to launch Saturday Morning 8:30 AM from Fennimore, Wisconsin 2.5 hours west of Milwaukee.
Joe N9UX is a member of the Milwaukee Radio Amateur's club and was working on this project since before the April 19 Balloon launch.
This morning he ran another model and it shows that the package may land East of Fort Atkinson in Jefferson county, we will see how that prediction holds out.
Once again it can be tracked on aprs.fi and findu online or on your favorite radio based APRS station.

or just put aprs.fi in your browser and track station KC9EHO-11
N9UX will chase by car and he can be tracked at N9UX-9 and on voice 146.55 simplex.
When in range he will be on the FM-38 repeater system, and if time permits on other repeaters.
http://www.fm38.org/tiki-view_faq.php?faqId=1#q7 has the repeater frequencies for the FM-38 system.
This is an unmanned mission with APRS and on board instruments.
It is possible help may be needed to find the payload.
More information will be posted as available.
