[TriEmbed] [TAR] Re: Registration of drone use in the near future?

[Pete Soper]

<imagination></intention>For the past year or two I've pictured a sling 
shot that can extend from the center of my property on a short tower and 
reach to the outer edges, but not an inch further. The trick is for it 
to do it's work and retract before falling into the trees and creating a 
hassle with untangling it. If a drone comes in just over the tree tops 
I'm foiled. Likewise if my radar spots another drone observing the 
situation. But this involves mechanical stuff and my incompetance is a 
legend in my own mind. But I have a license allowing me to run 1500 
watts of microwave energy into a 30dbi dish and point that dish with an 
ERP of 1.5 megawatts. I can buy azimuth/elevation mounts and get help 
souping up the motor drive to steer it quickly. The question is how fast 
I could discriminate "non-person, non-bird, non-whatever" before pulling 
the trigger.</imagination><intention>

Yesterday a military (camo) C130 flew over me (SW of Apex) TOO LOW. The 
noise scared me inside the car with the windows rolled up. The shadow 
scared me before I made sense of the sound. If that plane was above 500 
feet I'll eat a breadboard jumper. It was going straight toward 
Goldsboro. I'm confident no drones in its path survived.
