Success!
The 12 annual "Circus City Swapfest" was a huge success again this year. We thank all of you that supported us.
The N9LKY memorial balloon flight was also a success. Launch time was 8:48am CDT from the Sauk County Fairgrounds in Baraboo. The balloon reached a final recorded altitude of 101,640 feet above sea level around 11:11am CDT just east of Beloit, Wisconsin. It's final report was given at 11:58am CDT, 2 miles south of Marengo, Illinois. The package was retrieved within minutes.
A special thanks to our chase teams: Len, N9QIP Brad, KB9VMC & Chris, KC9IZG Wayne, W9YYZ & Bill, KA9QFJ
