A friend of mine had a lot of success with (new) 1m dia latex ballons which a readily available. These are much lighter than met balloons. He got about a week out of each filling. However he was only running half-wave verticals on 80m. - Stewart G3YSX hamilton mal wrote: Hi AllI got a couple of met balloons a while back and decided to inflate them for LF airborne activities but it was a big disappointment, although new they seem to be porous and the gas escaped within a couple of hours. Perhaps met balloons are porous so that when they achieve the object they deflate and drop to earth in a short period of time. Where can I get a big ex govt barrage balloon? 73 de Mal/G3KEV |
