Gordon,
There are at least two groups that know of that launch High altitude
balloons with amateur payloads. I just joined one: Arizona Near Space
Research. http://www.ansr.org/
High altitude balloons are fun. There's a group here that launches
them as well from Adelaide. Had fun when they installed a crossband
repeater on one of their balloons. Also had a go at decoding
telemetry, but being on the edge of the footprint and with small
antennas, I haven't had much luck with telemetry. :(
