This was in our local paper yesterday. Some prof's from my alma Matter lost a balloon over WPA. The GPS enabled cell phone stopped calling. I guess they didn't know that cell phone coverage is not 100%, and doesn't improve with altitude. Too bad they didn't have a Ham on the project. APRS would be perfect for this. If anyone sees it, please call them.
