[BLT] Back to Rice Balloon Launches Today!

[MacAllister, Andrew [EPM/HOU]]

We had a great time visiting a Rice Ozone Balloon Launch.  I got a nice
batch of pictures that I will post to www.qsl.net/w5acm soon.  They
certainly make launching a balloon look easy!  At Rice, we had W5GFP, N5RPQ
and W5ACM.  The chase included K5ENG, KD5ELH and W5ACM.  WA5TWT provided
tracking from Sugar Land.  Unfortunately we did not find the package before
the batteries died, but there are still a dozen opportunities to hunt
payloads!

Here's the latest word from Rice University:

Hi, Andy,

A quick reply.  Thanks for coming out Saturday.  It was nice to finally 
meet you.

We didn't launch today---took a day off to rest.

We'll pick it up tomorrow.

Thanks again!
