Has the FM transponder been activated yet?

Balloon found. We returned to site on 8 April with post-flight analysis
and better estimate of where to look.
We were only about 100 yards off.
Details: http://aprs.org/balloons.html
Final student lesson learned: Turn the Highdef video camera on before
release.
Since the students have the payload intact, we may try again in the next
weeks or so.

Short Story. The balloon is lost near Shrewsbury, PA. But we are sure (now
after post processing) that we know where it is within about an acre.
See: http://aprs.org/balloons.html
Premature burst (or separation) caused the payload to descend at over 5000
feet per minute slowing to 4000'/min (nearly 50 MPH straight down)at last
posit. We did not know this at the time, and wasted our time searching the
track 1/2 mile beyond the last data point assuming the much slower parachute
design rate of 600'/min.
When we got home, post processing revealed the high descent rate and the
more likely spot much closer to the last known position. Also the high
impact is why it probably ceased transmitting.
Also we were looking for a balloon and parachute in the trees, not (as it
turns out) for the football sized Styrofoam box (mostly covered in black
duct tape!) somewhere on the ground in the underburush. We would not have
noticed that between other occasional trash in the area.
Contact info is on the balloon.

I'll be demonstrating satellites and flying the AMSAT banner at the
I-20 Hamfest (http://i20hamfest.com/) on April 12. The site of the
hamfest is in Longview, Texas (grid EM22pl.) The hamfest is
scheduled to run from 7:30-11:30am local time.
I plan to operate the following passes:
VO-52 @ 13:33z
FO-29 @ 13:40z <- Most favorable to us
FO-29 @ 15:27z
AO-73 @ 15:45z (if transponder turned on)
If you hear W5PFG on these passes, please give us a call. I will QSL
via normal means (card+SASE or Logbook of the World) if you need this
grid confirmed for award purposes.
