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=40.79427,-83.68583

... 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!

-Scott,  K4KDR
