Not helicopters (you’d more likely want one of the 4-rotor photo platform drones), but balloons. In Africa, some of the stations which got their antenna towers blown up by paramilitary warlords got right back on the air by launching weather balloons with wire antennas. Must have had a cache of them kept camouflaged somewhere close by.
If you have a ham license, you can have your 50′ tower, but otherwise local ordinances will probably disallow it. You can sometimes find short towers taken down and left. Or you could build your own with pipe and guys.
BTW, what on Earth does religion have to do with this? Sorry, I don’t get that.
