Beevo, that was it. I was at the Yuma hamfest hoping to see the launch, but due 
Yo winds they launched from Quartzsite. I worked about three contacts on the 
repeater and Chris got about 18 of the 23 or so SSTV images. 

It reached 87653 feet altitude. 

I asked since I saw the aprs track went just northwest of the site. It landed 
near Salome & Eagle Eye rds
