[amsat-bb] APRS balloon down in WV/MD/VA

The KC8UCH-11 Balloon is down in an area equidistant from Cumberland, MD, Haggerstown, MD and Winchester VA. And a few miles west of Martinsburg.

It was launched in Canada and flew overnight.

This was a long distance balloon, I doubt the launch crew will come down here looking for it.

So, a great DF hunt opportunity. My guess at the landing coordinates are 39N 32.0' and 78W 11.5' And here is my plot of my prediction:

It was coming down going SE and headed right for a ridge line with the land elevation rising. So I think the prediction should be pretty good (except for whatever the wind was doing right on the ground as it was going up and over that ridge?)
