[aprssig] N1547C AIR TRACKER DEP SOON FOR ROUND USA TRIP

[Chuck Gooden]

Who will be the control operator?  How will you shut down the system if
there is a problem?  What if the RF interfers with the avaionic on board
the plane, how will the pilot know to shut down the tracker?  Have you
considered the legality of this according to FCC and FAA rules?
