Looking at portable and easy to deploy method of putting up a 5/8 omni
directional antenna for CB/10-11m trans/rec. Is hooking up an antenna
wire to a helium balloon on the "top" end and connecting it to coax at
the "bottom" a possible option? Obviously there are many
environmental limitations with the concept, and it is a strictly
single use application. But for camping or emergency back up use, the
concept sounds at least plausible. Anyone have any technical reasons
why this is not feasible? Better yet, anyone have any experience with
anything similar?
