My HT on a rubber duck just north of Georgia picked up 12 APRS balloons during the eclipse .
When I got home, I counted 244 APRS Balloons on Eclipse day on FINDU.COM. Subtracting out the 96 from other parts of the world that day left 148 over the USA. But looking at the map, I only could find about 46 along the track? Where were the others?
I cant get a plot of all the USA ones since the filters on APRSFI wont work that big.
Looking for someone who can plot all the APRS balloons that day on one map?
Mark, KE6BB posted a plot of all the "Flight" symbols during the eclipse. Most are balloons, but a few aircraft mixed in as well. But Ill have to post it on a web page to share it with the group.

Hello Bob!
You're more than welcome to use the image that I included with a tweet on eclipse day if it's useful to you:
https://twitter.com/scott23192/status/899694435168133120
... it was obtained from:
https://tracker.habhub.org/#!mt=roadmap&mz=4&qm=6_hours&mc=40.79...
... where I often check to see if there are any balloons in my area that I might be able to receive on 144.390.
73!
