[TowerTalk] Drones

[Don]

Tnx to all for the leads to the videos. Gave me a good heads-up on 
release idea. Looks like there is a lot of interest by the amateur radio 
community.

Did some more sleuthing, this time with better keywords and discovered a 
goodly number of release aftermarket items for a wide number of drones, 
by model and generic.

Ham friend just bought a DJI Mavic 2 and from what I could see in his 
first use video (just learning to fly it). I was impressed by the ease 
of control on the first time out. Unfortunately he ran out of juice with 
it to far away but was able to get it low enough so there was no damage 
when it 'landed'.

A drone would be a great way to put up some wire on some 150 foot Spruce 
old growth trees in the forests to the east and south of my home. Also 
would be useful for checking the beams and all up the tower. Plus just 
fun to use.

Appreciate your help and suggestions.
