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.




Then I guess the solution would be an electric balloon! :-)
