[Vk5-wx-sonde] Sonde N4020971 recovered

[Lachlan Stewart]

It can be very deceiving just how far they can travel in the last few
hundred vertical meters!
I also do model rocketry so I have a bit of an idea where things can land,
but sometimes it really is just luck. They can drop right on the spot or
the wind can pickup and carry them a km or more!

The flys drove me crazy though while I was trying to wind up the string, so
the rain would have definitely been better!

Regards
Lachlan
