    Hello all and thanks to KC8ZUL for linking my video here.

    I am KC8MLP; the creator of the world's first two drone system.
    • Repeater-Helper Drone <-- carries repeaters to assist the worker drone
    • Camera-Worker Drone <-- the recon drone
    As you can see in the video, where you setup to fly is no longer a barrier to gain access to what was inaccessible.

    HAM Radio Repeater Drone:
    This is also in my plans. A flying cross band radio repeater with the user interface controlled from the ground.

    Perhaps Field Day could eventually add a new category and point system for a flying repeater setup.
    (years ago one in our group made a bicycle self powered radio for field day competition so why not a flying repeater drone to attract a whole new audience ?)

    Anyone interested then contact me.

    Gary... KC8MLP

    I plan on doing just that.

    Hit the repeater drone with 70cm on a few dozen milliwatts and cross band to 2 meters at 5W or la little lower.

    Yes... the repeater-helper drone is a stock DJI Phantom 2.
    Instead of carrying a camera, it carries two repeaters to create a complete radio repeat-control solution to support controlling a stock DJI Pantom 2 Vision+ drone.

    I will have more details soon.
