Hi Mal,

perhaps too much wind...

My experience with a helium balloon antenna was that it is nearly vertical only 
in absolute zero wind conditions, and starts to become awkward in a breeze of 
more than a couple of knots. On the other hand, a kite works best from ten 
knots 
up. On many days, neither option is usable.

There is a hybrid design called a "Helikite", which claims to combine the 
virtues of both types, and is supposed to fly in all winds.

Best 73,
Markus (DF6NM)

A small hot air balloon is a better bet than a wind dependent kite
