Recovery
Recovered by KB0DMU · 2026-10-17 03:15 UTC · reported with sondehub.org/found
Missed out on the noon launch so this was a treat...ended up just a couple hundred feet off the main road in a grassy field alongside the highway into Indian cave State Park. I love being the one to turn them off. Another fun adventure!

Humidity by Height
Relative humidity (%) on the way up
Wind by Height
Horizontal speed of the balloon (km/h), which is the wind that carries it
Pressure
Air pressure (hPa) by time since launch
Signal and Battery
Strength of the signal at the best station (dB) and the sonde's battery (V)
