I used to use those 7 ft. helium balloons as advertising when I had another business years ago. They had pretty good lift! Sounds like a good idea. Not sure how you could test a full speed link with a dish but an Omni could be put on it with a Mikrotik 411 board. Then you could use cat5 riser cable to tether it. At least you could see a signal that way.
