Understanding some things
I figured that most FPV pilots would have their Ham Technician license......maybe not?
2M is commonly referred to frequencies in the 144-148MHz range. I don't know of any flight equipment that uses anything close to that. There are some long distance control systems that use the 70cm (420-450MHz) for flight control. I think some people will be using that for the "record" attempt. Get more people off of the 2.4GHz frequencies.
K8VPJ is a 2M repeater just south of FliteFest. Repeaters allow a HT (Hand talkie) or mobile stations to go much longer distances by "repeating" the transmission on a separate transmission frequency. Anything in the 2M or 70cm range is considered line of sight frequencies. By having a repeater high up on a tower can greatly enhance your range.
To use a repeater you have to know a few things:
Receive frequency: 147.0750MHz
Transmit frequency: +.6MHz or 147.6750MHz
Tone frequency: 131.8Hz (inaudible tone that opens the squelch of a radio)
K8VPJ is hosted by Carroll County Amateur Radio Repeater System. They even mentioned FliteFest on their Facebook page:

Anyway. I could go on for pages and pages.
