Voice/radio would add a lot to cost, complexity and regulatory issues. Why not get it to update a webpage? Assuming that the location has mobile data coverage..
(I frequently fly into strips in which the windsock has long since been stolen or shredded by monkeys. I have often wondered about being able to drop some kind of smoke flare on the inspection pass. It would have to be designed so that it would not set fire to the grass!)
