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.

A small hot air balloon is a better bet than a wind dependent kite g3kev |
