Thanks for all the helpful suggestions for shielding the laptop screen.
No answers about WL7H though.  Has anyone worked this stn?  Is it in Alaska, or down in the lower 48?
QRZ.com has him in BP40, which looks just outside the AO-7 footprint when I heard him on 7/17.

If there is a station or two there with excellent L band uplink capabilities 
who would like to relay the audio for us, we can do it. Email the ao51-modes

I listened for the W9JY-11 balloon on APRS, and for the 446.025 crossband 
repeater, and heard nothing...  did it actually go up yesterday?

Yes.
There were actually 2 balloons with APRS beacons.
The ATV video package did not make these launches.
W9YJ-11, was launched first and supposedly reached ~ 100,000 feet
Landed near the town of Bronson, IL
I heard stations on the cross-band repeater from Fond DuLac, WI; Toledo, OH
when it was around 50,000 feet.
N9QGS-11 was launched second and lost its GPS data stream above 50,000 feet 
(just East of Royal, IL).
It did recover its latitude/longitude and direction about 20 minutes later 
(near Oakwood, IL and I-74), but never its altitude.
Landed south of Catlin, IL
I have MS Power Point slides of the OpenAPRS.net APRS tracks for both 
balloons.
You can go to OpenAPRS.net, enter the SSID for each balloon and request data 
over past 2 days.
That will show you the actual tracks.
