How about a tethered helium balloon instead? This way you don't have
to worry about powering the thing. Bell wire will handle 100 watts all
day without turning into smoke.


Many amateurs would give their right arm for a functioning helium
balloon. It's the sort of thing that most LF band aficionados can only
dream about. It's a lot easier to obtain electricity than helium.
