These days many people are working on tethered multi-copter based active radio "towers". The most interesting ones use single wire (~28awg) surface wave transmission lines with lightweight launchers on both ends to transmit significant RF power which is rectified at the multicopter to use for flight energy.
Balloons and kites work but they're much more difficult to control.
