IF one were to live in an area without any high tension (110 Volt or the
much
greater primary voltages) and had a sufficiently windless day, thereby
succeeding in lifting 100 ft or more of wire, how efficient would this be
for
the purposes of receiving shortwave?

This is the system used in old-timey life-boat hand-cranked
emergency radios - a helium balloon and a box kite (if the balloon crapped
out).
