He also had postcards that he sent out to radio operator's that contacted him. I never really understood how that all worked, lol. I remember when he started playing with a drone I saw antennas when he flew it over his house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member Kivalo Posted February 10, 2023 Gold Member Share Posted February 10, 2023 Evidently you can control drones and and other remotely operated things with various HAM signals. Some people who fly rc aircraft as a hobby need a HAM lic. Never knew that until I started this online course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never knew why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read somewhere that you've crashed some drones. Maybe you didn't after all! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it range is effected by output power, antenna height and surrounding geography. I suppose that could come into play with a drone or rc airplane.
