[K3PZN-List] new ham antenna questions

[Kilroy, Patrick L. (GSFC-5680)]

Why not try?  

But  20-ft wide balloon is LARGE with a huge amount 
of lift -- and it will be difficult to control even in light 
breezes.  Can you go down to a 3-ft diameter (aka 
about a 300-400 gram) weather balloon?  

Cheers,

Hello Everyone

ok here is my question can you mount an end feed zep antenna vertically?  Ok
wild idea from the new ham I was thinking of mounting and endfeed zep to a
helium balloon and sending it up about 150 feet?  Your thoughts my fellow
hams?  I think I can get my hands on a 20ft reusable helium balloon.
