MattMoose,
Don’t feel too bad, they even kicked out Dr. Goddard (father of the liquid fuel rocket) out from the state Massachusetts. He went to the New Mexico for further testing and met up with a fellow named Charles Lindberg (first X-Prize winner, $25,000). I’ve heard people say “Massachusetts looks like England”, so you are on the right track.
To answer your question, you could use a VHF radio, the aircraft should have a station license from the FCC (should not be a big deal). They could allocate a frequency to use, in a crunch you could use multicom on 122.9 (air to air). The operator/pilot does not need any license or test.
When is your launch date ?
