Roland Daignault, N1JOY writes on BCRA list:
This morning the Kuss Middle School (Fall River, MA) is conducting a high altitude balloon launch with the intent of going all the way to burst altitude. Launch will be at approximately 10:30 from Northford, CT, and projected landing will be in Mt. Hope Bay for a boat recovery. You can track the balloon two ways with SPOT, a commercial cellular based system similar to APRS, and with APRS directly, or over the Internet.
