[Elecraft] Re: Balloons and Gas

[Paul Wilton]

One alternative which has been used very successfully in the past to 
lift antenna wires is the Allsop Helikite - see http://www.allsopp.co.uk/

Its a combined helium balloon and kite which combines the best of both 
worlds ie balloon for no wind and a kite if it is windy.

I've not had direct experience of its use as a antenna lifter but others 
had - eg http://www.qsl.net/g4vgo/antennas.htm
