Something I forgot to mention - don't laugh.

How about a high speed/small wing kite to get the j pole up 20ft or so?
If you get out of range just let the thing stream out behind and above
you for greater range.

The greatest height a car/truck can be on the highways is 13'6". Mount
the ant on a lightweight fiberglass pole with the tip of ant at this max
height?

Thanks for all the responses and tips .... It has to be practical as well
for use when moving at speeds up
to 100 to 120 mph ( not operating at this time) without breaking off (
German Autobahns) as it won't be
possible to stop, remove and stow it safely when motorway/autobahns are
encountered.. and also not
attract unwanted attention from the authorities who may think it is an
unsafe attachment if too big.
