[MLB-WIRELESS] helium balloons anyone?

Tethered balloons may be flown to a maximum height of 400 ft in accordance with CASA rules.

This one is definitely better than a business plan I saw a while ago - a
company who were going to fly (standard) aircraft in circles 24/7 to
provide wireless connectivity. ;)

I wonder if an AP attached to several helium balloons (and tethered to the
ground) would work for temporary setups, eg field days. I guess the weight
of the cable to the ground would be significant...

Cheers.
