It's bad enough that he's very near high voltage lines. Playing with
hydrogen can be pretty damn dangerous. I hope this guy a very careful!

You need a balloon that has more lift for a given amount of drag.
Try hydrogen instead of helium.

IF one were to live in an area without any high tension (110 Volt or the
much
greater primary voltages) and had a sufficiently windless day, thereby
succeeding in lifting 100 ft or more of wire, how efficient would this
be for
the purposes of receiving shortwave?
