Hi Laurence,

The power sled is the ideal kite for kite antenna experiments. I used 
the power sled 36 for most of my experiments. And i also have the power 
sled 81! :-)

Didn't you got the idea to try a amateur radio kite antenna experiment? 
If i would live in the landscape, i would have a fixed installation for 
a kite antenna. In one of our fielddays my kite (including the antenna 
wire) was on the sky for more than 24 hours, even while sleeping :-)

Thanks for the image! That must be a low loss site! All you need is a 
massive earth rod and a sledge hammer, a 12V battery and PA :-)

Is there any altitude limit for you? Or can you rise a 1/4 Lambda 
vertical for 137 kHz? :-)

73, Stefan/DK7FC
