Default RE: the prefect platform for aerial photography

Dave,

Ignition noise is a very possible culprit. I will have to take my sony walkman to the field to test that. I am familiar with the technique as it is how many wise ranchers test their electric fence status. In the old days I spent a bit of time on a ranch and to test the fence we would drive up next to an electric fence and then with the radio on AM open the door and touch the fence with the door. You could hear the pulses through the radio and not get personally zapped in the process. We now have horses at home and run a hot fence around them. My Walkman on AM will serve the same purpose and without touching the wire. The GBS with the G38 is a really fun flier without any camera gear. I will have to test it next time we fly.

It is rainy here too with more wind and rain forecasted for the weekend. Perhaps it will be a building weekend.
