Default Antenna in the Air.

How far up in the air can a wire antenna for shortwave radio be (for
instance,held aloft with a helium balloon,ala Switzerland in World War
Two) and still be effective for receiving shortwave radio signals?

LOL,

You're funny.

I think the only limit is local zoning laws and if it's really high, a
blinking light so airplanes don't fly into it.

Remember, most of the time in receiving, bigger is better.
