Better title, attempt to tag

There must be some kind of switch that listens for the clicks but I don’t have a clue as to where you would buy it. | |
| Jul 10, 2017 at 18:25 | comment | added | Lnafziger | I've worked at a skydiving center before, and we had a small aviation radio plugged in on the ground and the pilots would just give them a call three minutes prior to jumpers away.... The other suggestions given here could have potential legal issues (no using cellular networks from the air per the FCC, and most electronic devices need to be turned off so that they don't interfere with aircraft systems). | |

| Jul 9, 2017 at 23:41 | comment | added | Dave Tweed | Sounds like an interesting project, but such a question is far too broad to be answered here. You should try to connect with a local "maker space" in your area to see if there might be someone who would want to take this on. | |
