[TowerTalk] balloon FD antenna

[Dennis Schaefer]

In Wal-Mart, I saw a "party balloon kit".  It was 25 nine-inch mylar
balloons and a small helium tank.  

Surely 25 small balloons would support a wire of some kind, and all it cost
is $15.00.   There is probably a little excess helium capacity in the tank,
anyway.

Will this work for Field Day?  Has anybody tried a similar scheme?  What
kind of wire?  How long?   How long did it stay up?  (even if you didn't
use Viagra)

73,
Dennis,  W5RZ
