Re: [amsat-bb] Open source APRS tracker Kickstarter (Proper Path)
ARGH! You are right. SOmwhere over the last 22 years, the link and page BALLOONS.TXT file is gone.
So I just added the path receommendation to the top of our page: http://aprs.org/balloons.html

What is a suggested addressing protocol for an APRS balloon? a quick search of the internet didn't turn up anything obvious to a
newbie like me.

to fly such a tracker on the APRS network with a beacon rate more often than once a minute, *OR* with a path via more than 1 hop. If those limits are not implemented in hardware, these devices could trash the national APRS frequency. Half the balloons we see go up to not adhere to these APRS standards because the operators are clueless to the netwrk constraints and apparently do nothing to research the proper settings..
