Bill Whitehead on Using Drones in Contract Archaeology - Ep 88

Drones are here to stay in CRM Archaeology. Archaeologist Bill Whitehead of SWCA in New Mexico talks about how they're using drones and other technology to enhance the products they can return to customers and increase the accuracy of their maps. At some point in the near future we're going to see a requirement for an FAA Part 107 UAS license on a job advertisement. No is the time to start learning about these so you aren't left in the dust later on.

Drones and Tech Gifts - Episode 68

It's Drone time again! This is such a rapidly changing space that we have to cover it every now and again. And, many people ask me how to get into it and how to learn to fly. We cover all that in this episode. What do you learn on? What's more important for a trainer, camera or control? When should you upgrade?
