How about using the WIFI that Jon (I think) has in the salt plan for next
year and communicate that way. I have a fairly good (20 db) WIFI antenna on
my RV that has about a 3 mile range with little or no interference. It is
really useful at RV parks with limited/no connectivity. I wonder how it
would work if positioned mid course. Could transmit data, video and voice?
How to set it up??????
