I like the idea of a balloon relay antenna, Kalos. Although a lot of coms would have been fried by EMP, some of the military's shielded stuff and certain high-end civilian devices would still be capable of sending and receiving transmissions. Boosting coms ranges would be an important C&C priority in the post-TDM world and this is one conceivable way to do so.
Finding and returning a relay balloon that has somehow slipping its line (accident, weather event, sabotage) would be a good mission starter for a T2K campaign, especially if it carried some kind of encoding or other sensitive gear as well.
