Kite Antennas WB7AGN on 15/3/23
I can certainly see using (depending on the location and weather) a kite to elevate a 2 meter roll-up Slim Jim in an emergency situation. I'm a semi-retired Fire/EMS volunteer and modern communications mandated by state and federal agencies (not just fcc but nfpa & DOT-EMS) go down along with infrastructure. In our part of eastern North Carolina hurricanes usually bring lots of rain, tornadoes, downed trees & service poles, and serious flooding. It's the major reason why I got licensed.
