LF,

Thanks= to Eddie (Northampton), Roger (nr Cambridge) and Paul (Todmorden) for the= reports and screen shots.

The kite is still aloft despite nearly= snagging a nearby tree several times.
The wind is gusting and changing= direction quite rapidly which is causing big fluctuations in aerial curre= nt. The max current is about 0.25A min about 0.15A

I estimate the= aerial height as being between 40 - 50m (occasionally down to 15m!) with= 70m of total wire run out.

Provided the wind doesn't shift too far= to the East (where there's danger of snagging house TV aerials) and the= kite doesn't break free I'll leave the set up as it is.
