[TriLUG] So here is a thought

Sat Jul 15 13:45:43 EDT 2017

The vehicle would be operated by each of the HAM operators on the path and
would have "visual" on the device as it flies above the "tree tops" or
"roof tops" where the antenna are set up. It also has a built in camera
where the operator can maintain "visual".  I would think this project is
still in the planning and testing stage until a device is developed that
could fly a long distance. Once the device exists, then it would be a
process of getting a permit to test the vehicle. I also like the idea that
the HAM operators might be willing to work on this project.

Is this a project where a low cost solution for future flying objects or
even unmanned vehicles can use? This is really a fun group. Keep the ideas
flowing. : ) My son and I are looking into getting a flying object that can
be modified and tested over a short distance. Any advice on which one to
get? I like the ehang because of the flying vehicle they are developing. I
saw it at both CES in 2016 and NAB 2017.

thanks for the low hanging vine,

"There are those who look at opportunities and contemplate limitations.
There are those who seek opportunities and discover limitations. And there
are those who find opportunities and challenge their own limitations."

"My children are footprints that prove I existed"

 "My life is based on a true story. The characters, incidents, and
dialogues are products of my imagination and are not to be construed as
real. Any resemblance to actual events or persons, living or dead, is
entirely accidental."

"What I now know is that I never knew that I knew what I know"
