A friend of mine wants to put up a vertical in his back garden (actually

to operate on 160m), and is thinking of using a met balloon to hold
it aloft. I know that there has been some experience on this group
with balloons, and he asked me to post two questions:

1) Where can you get a met balloon in the UK. Are there any viable
alternatives.

2) Where can you get the gas to inflate the balloon
