Balloons and kites we've had, but what of drones to
hold the wire antenna aloft?

Ok, I hear you say about battery life, but taking
my cue from the Tesla / Edison wars, the AC / DC
arguments for transmitting power over long distances ...


''' what if the antenna were to be made from a bifilar
wire, bell flex or twin kevlar for lightness, with your
RF fed in parallel to both conductors, but superimposed
on the pair as separate wires, say, 20kV at 5kHz to
be transformed and "rectumfried" once it reaches the drone?

Then, you would not even need 2G4Hz control, it could be
superimposed of the HVAC.

Just an idea ...

It would radiate- even allowing for the twin wires, therefore you would
need a licence.

Then there are the practical things like insulation at 20kV, do you
really think 'bell wire' is designed for that?

At times it is almost like you deliberating spout silly ideas to get a
reaction but I suspect your engineering skills are really that bad you
don't know the ideas are silly.

I have already suggested 'aerial powering' in RSGBTech. Use twin wire
aerial, and feed DC power (via chokes) up it to the drone.

Pointless referring to a resource controlled by Adolf Reay.

DC makes more sense, even with a balanced feed radiation is likely an
therefore a licence would be needed, even at 5kHz. You may well get an
NoV, they've been issued for such low frequencies before to my
knowledge, but not for drones etc.

I'm not sure how much lift these drones have, I suspect not a lot.

The idea does have its merits. With a bit of ingenuity, you could
arrange a 'station keeping' control using GPS and possible some sensors
(body rates and acceleration etc) to ensure the drone keeps the wire in
place.

When I was recently on holiday, some tool was flying one of these over
a crowded beach. It did seem to have a "stay put" feature as it would
hover in position so well, that I doubt that it was under manual
control.
