Hi all,
        I thought I would send a Kaymount weather balloon up about 100' as a
temporary tower for Field Day. Any ideas, suggestions, cautions re: the
kind of wire I should use for antenna (150watts max)? Any other comments
are welcome. BTW I'll be in the middle of a field, no power lines for a
quarter of mile in any direction.

73 and THNX
