There is literally nothing valid about that claim.

Does that also mean you won't be posting here anymore?

The trouble is that it is ill informed ... or in some case just plain ignorant ... voters who keep putting these people in Congress. Both parties can do a LOT better than they have.

"But basically it looks like he's saying with a vertical antenna there is better horizontal radiation and less vertical radiation. With a horizontal antenna the vertical radiation is better but the horizontal radiation is less." I'm a long time ham radio operator who has computer modeled and...

This thread is pure alarmist tripe. The proposed law applies only to federal agencies and is no different than government concerns about sensitive entities buying Chinese (or Iranian or North Korean or Russian) internet routers, servers, laptops, etc. The same people who are all riled up about...

I cared enough to ask the question, and I asked the question because I'm an engineer and curious how my drone works. Not everyone is an appliance operator.

The Iridium satellites used to produce "flares" when their solar panels were in just the right position to relfect the light of the sun. The website Heavens Above had detailed predictions on when they would happen and how bright based upon your particular location. It was amazing to know ahead...

This would seem to preclude that for an individual pilot. From the FRIA website: "Who can apply for a FRIA? Only FAA-recognized Community Based Organizations (CBOs) and educational institutions such as primary and secondary schools, trade schools, colleges, and universities are eligible to...

Many USB chargers, whether 12 volt DC for your car or 120/240 VAC for your home, are pretty under powered. It can be difficult sometimes to find a good one. However, a USB battery pack like the ones for recharging cell phones should have plenty of power. I can't think of any reason why they...

But not "quickly", right?

He said "quickly", and he's correct. A LiPo battery is highly unlikely to swell quickly (i.e., during a flight but not before) unless it was damaged.

No ... the shooter is screwed because by his own admission he killed a man over a drone.
