N1LTV guestimated landing zone of ITA5 10 meter balloon based on
two yagi bearings (shown) and intuition.<p> 

The W1ATI/N1LTV bearing of 330 degrees from New Bedford at
3:30 PM EST is very broad, but is plotted since there is another 
bearing available from AA1A (270, Marshfield) that intersects at
a pretty sharp angle, so it might be of some value.  It was 
made with a triband 3 element beam on 10 meters.<p>

ITA 5 launched Thursday afternoon 1:40 PM EST <br>
estimated battery life approximately 7 days<br>
emitting constant CW data stream<p>

fundamental frequency 28.636 MHz<br> 
5th harmonic at 143.18 MHz<p>
