[VHFcontesting] Bursted Ballon

[Zack Widup]

There are actual photos of Lawnchair Larry and his balloons that can be 
found on internet.  He did use 45 balloons.  They're pretty easy to count 
in the photos.

I can envision a Yagi suspended from a series of balloons but how would 
you rotate it?  Sort of like flying a kite ...
