Hello Pat,
Sorry I missed the launch but was at work.
The Adler group actually does a lot of launches from Kankakee.
I did however catch a launch last year when I happened to be home.
I noticed a few mobiles coming in to town and over to Koerner Field on the SW side of Kankakee, their aprs ID texts said they were balloon chasers.
My xyl and I went out there where I met some of the crew.
I ended up helping with the launch, really made my day.
Honestly I would love to try balloon tracking some day.
