Helium balloons to lift DIY 5/8 antennas
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? |
