Over the USA is one thing, FCC has rules for that, but above international waters and other countries it's a different game, particularly since there's no operator aboard. The website says the transmitter will be turned off over the UK. It's considered an unmanned aircraft and subject to those rules. If it's registered in some country, it's subject to that country's rules even if in international airspace. If it's not registered anywhere, it's fair game to be shot down as target practice by Air Defence aircraft. Thanks, Phil. Very interesting. Do you have any idea why they're going to the trouble to turn off the transmitter over the UK? 73, Steve KB9X |
