Sounds like you have no actual experience with tracking and recovery
under less than ideal conditions, or you think the APRS network is for
your exclusive use, or maybe you just don't understand that APRS is
LOCAL network and adding one additional station to your local network
for an hour or two just isn't that big a deal.

Why are _you_ using a non-direct path in an aircraft that's ~1500'
AGL?  Sounds hypocritical to me, if you expect ballooners to use
direct-only and guess (sorry, extrapolate) the final position.
