About the tethered kite or balloon, Don't tether it with a wire or anything conductive if you are anywhere near powerlines. As for balloons you can make hydrogen with water and DC electricity but if you do be very careful. BTW, the same process will make pure oxygen which is also very dangerous.

Just tuned in at 0135, heard end of "best of friends", then heard a tune by Hank Williams, now Johnny Cash with song about Noah's ark. Excellent audio for SSB, good signal. At 0143 Jefferson Airplane "my best friend". SSTV/FAX at 0228. That was a great program, thanks.

Tuned in at 0137utc, fair signal, heard country rock ballad, off suddenly at 0150utc after ID. The similar s-off, near simultaneous s-off times, equal sig strength and similar fading make me think that RF Whatever and Capt Morgan are collocated and operated. Just on internet at 0300utc after listening to Alan Maxwell.

Tuned in at 0134utc, heard blues tune "got my mojo workin", more blues, nice program, fair signal, off suddenly at 0149 after ID. Note, similar sign off, near simultaneous s-off time, equal sig strength and similar fades makes me think Capt Morgan and RF Whatever transmitters co-located and operated. Just signed on internet T 0300.

Heard it as QRM earlier under Radio Free Whatever on 6925 then it switched to 6940. Very weak here, under low noise floor. Earlier I heard pop tunes from 70's & 80's.
