Kite antenna?

Hello all

Do any of you have experience from using a kite antenna from a summit? How did you provide sufficient earth to bleed off static charges generated by the wind? Is a ground stake OK or did you use counterpoises as well?

Use a radial and bleed static with an RF Choke. Dog stakes are useful.
