My kite idea!
For all you people dissing it, it worked, and I got over 19 miles out of it. (+/-) I simply hooked a few hundrded feet of the cable and taped it to the kite, and added a little yagi antenna on the end.. Yes, im surpised too.
A friend of mine did something similar back in the late 80's on MW in the states. Used a bunch of helium filled party balloons and thin wire from an old TV transformer. Fed it at the bottom with twin lead and a homemade tuning coil coupled to a makeshift ground system. Had a full halfwave antenna for 1620 khz. lofted in the air that way. The wind caused it to slant a bit but he was heard all over the eastern USA and Canada on roughly 25 watts with a nice signal in the late evening hours that night.
Arrrrh!!!
