Airport black box developed by radio ham

The Kennebec Journal reports radio amateur Ron Cote N1SVC and John
Guimond have developed a unit that could help prevent airplane crashes
at small regional airports

The newspaper says that G.A.R.D, or General Audio Recording Device,
was created and developed by John Guimond’s business partner, Ron
Cote, of West Gardiner, through their new commercial venture,
Invisible Intelligence LLC.

The device aims to assist in the investigation of crashes by providing
a recording of all radio traffic at smaller general aviation airports,
without control towers, where currently no mechanism for recording
exists.

Ron Cote got his amateur radio license at the age of 12.
