Hi Brett,

These are commercial antennas, the first is what you might use in your
chase car. It exhibits gain from the complexity of its design. It
also exhibits a sharp lobe that is inconsistent with use on a balloon
(unless you add tracking servos - yeh, you are not going there).

It would be nice if somebody could give me a link to a website where I
could buy the proper antenna with a proper connector.

If you have such a tight weight budget, you should be doing it
yourself. Packaged products are always heavier. You "could" get away
with a simple piano wire stinger stuck into the transmitter's jack.
