>From my experience of kite operation on LF as GW3XDV/P, it is quite 
possible to fly a kite that is very stable for long periods. I am 
sure that G3YXM (whose GM3YXM/P work gave several people their first 
GM) will agree.

As for timing, this time of year it gets light at about 0430, which 
would allow time for a callsign ort two at QRSS30 before 
transatlantic propagation faded. A bigger problem would be getting 
enough wind at that time of day.
