Hmm speeding train vs. sUAS, media hype damage will by far exceed any actual risk to lives or infrastructure hopefully additional cameras are used if the unfortunate happens, not wishing but hey

Update, Well I couldn't figure out how to lower my bitrate but apparently it was a transient issue as everything seems back to normal this morning. As usual I appreciate and respect the knowledgable input from the members. Thank you and happy flying! Mac D
