Good Luck meeting these requirements!
§ 101.15 Notice requirements.
<https://www.ecfr.gov/on/2022-12-09/title-14/section-101.15>
No person may operate an unshielded moored balloon or kite more than 150
feet above the surface of the earth unless, at least 24 hours before
beginning the operation, he gives the following information to the FAA
ATC facility that is nearest to the place of intended operation:
(a) The names and addresses of the owners and operators.
(b) The size of the balloon or the size and weight of the kite.
(c) The location of the operation.
(d) The height above the surface of the earth at which the balloon or
kite is to be operated.
(e) The date, time, and duration of the operation.
§ 101.17 Lighting and marking requirements.
<https://www.ecfr.gov/on/2022-12-09/title-14/section-101.17>
(a) No person may operate a moored balloon or kite, between sunset and
sunrise unless the balloon or kite, and its mooring lines, are lighted
so as to give a visual warning equal to that required for obstructions
to air navigation in the FAA publication “Obstruction Marking and
Lighting”.
(b) No person may operate a moored balloon or kite between sunrise and
sunset unless its mooring lines have colored pennants or streamers
attached at not more than 50 foot intervals beginning at 150 feet above
the surface of the earth and visible for at least one mile.

Hi
Keep in mind a 1/2 wave vertical feeding inpedance 1-3 Kohm this means
high voltage ?
ON4UN tried on his isolated tover for 164m 40m high to do so on 80 m,
and only worked on low power ?
Ended up with 4 1/4 wave slopers on the top 80m the best vertical
will be a 3/8 wave concerning feeding impedance

Keep in mind…FAA requires anything over 200’ be registered with them
and have obstruction lighting. If near an airport that elevation may
be much lower or even not allowed. 1/2 wave on 160m…260’+.

I am wondering what type of kite would produce the most consistent
result for a 1/2 wave vertical. I am thinking 1/2 lamda so that I
don't have to fuss with a radial field.
