Does anyone know anything about those 'blimps' that car distributors often fly as adverts.... they look capable of hefting a fair sized wire up..... I wonder whether they would fall for the sponsorship line " yes we are using a "Forgeot Monduna" balloon to hold the aerial up, OM "?? Maybe that would just take too long to send on QRS.
