Can a thin wire be suspended between two kites, 100m or more apart?

The resulting catenary (Oberleitung?) should add considerably
to the capacitance (extra ~480pF?) and raise the overall effective height too. The antenna current would be nearly doubled and
the effective height would rise from ~40m to nearer 80m.

Roughly, that's 4 times the ERP due to the height increase,
and another 4 times due to the increased current.   Over 10dB
increase.

Perhaps they could be even further apart if the catenary wire
is light enough?
