For serious QRP portable workings, I take a 33' fiberglass mast on

Does anybody know where I can buy helium in a small spray can? A
couple of small baloons ought to hold up a decent length of wire for
an hour or two of operating. I thought about flying a kite (have been
told to do that before), but had a horrible mental image of me
chasing my 817 as a gust of wind drags it/me away...
Stick with the fiberglass mast because I have an even more horrible mental
image of your escaped balloon or kite supported antenna drapped across a
high tension line and some poor little kid reaching up for it.
Think on that.
