OK, now this I need more info on!!! Since I live on a sailboat and do
computer work for a living, I'm just waiting for this technology to become
more affordable. How much $$$? How much bandwidth uplink & downlink?
I had this great MP3 player on my last 2 cross-country trips in my roadster,
it's this great invention called a laptop! I had 2800 songs and a pair of
earplug headphones. Even after 7000 miles I still hadn't heard all the
songs. One idea I had was to get a Radio Shack wireless FM microphone ($25
or $30) and play the laptop output into the FM transmitter so anyone else in
the caravan w/o tunes could dial into my moving radio station with their own
little fm radio headset. They would have to keep up with me of course! ;)
See you all at Shasta (and Eugene)!
