Hi all
May I ask you to pay some attention on the three following issues related to
balloon/kite aerials ?
- using "high" altitude kites or balloons is often subject to a formal
authorization (at least in France, and specially if you expect to use the
aerial close to an airfield)
- even when weather is very good, very high DC voltages (many kV) can appear
(from natural local electric field) on the antenna wire. DC grounding of the
wire is therefore mandatory
- avoid any AC HV lines (or schools, or roads, or irritable neighbours) in the
vicinity of your experiment area.
