[aprssig] High Altitude GPS needed ASAP

[Scott Miller]

Bob, let me check on that - I've had good communication with a new GPS 
supplier.  My balloon launch this morning was to test one of their 
modules with high-altitude firmware, but it looks like the payload froze 
before it got very high.

And before anyone asks (again), yes, we overflew the airport, and yes, 
we coordinated the launch with ATC.  Could have driven it outside of 
class D airspace, but it's vastly easier to launch from a nice, 
sheltered warehouse with a roll-up door.
