Thank you all for the good points and inputs you have mentioned! And thank you for sharing your experiences and knowledge. Too bad there are no official permits, but I'll discuss with the authorities and see if I can convince them with good data. And if all else fails, I'll do as MTV suggested, strap them on and go flying, preferably in the early morning
The range of the H antennas is not so much the problem in the Alps. First, I use an amplifier, which increases the range, and second, I have to fly up and down the valleys and gorges anyway to be sure I don't miss a weak signal, like when a transmitter is in an avalanche. Having worked with lynx for 20 years, I mainly look for those, but also deer, or sometimes birds or bats.
By the way, we do have an "EAB" type program (EAS, Experimental aircraft of Switzerland), but the aviation authorities are as strict with them as with other aircrafts. With the advent of external cameras, the authorities have become even more sensitive...
I'll keep you posted from this corner of the world.
All the best and fly safe,
ACRY
