Use wi-fi to send digitized audio to the tower base for input to the auto-tuning amplifier. Rotor control also. Supply AC power only and eliminate coax loss, lightning threat. Of course defending the rig and wireless unit from lightning, and providing a remote power source, are challenges. Am looking at a big solar charged deep cycle battery for power. May I recommend http://www.homepower.com/ as an information resource for the latter... lots of useful information there (and the magazine has lots of ads for suppliers of this sort of thing: solar panels, charge controllers, batteries, etc.) http://www.windsun.com/ (Northern Arizona Wind & Sun) is a useful mail order site with lots of information. _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
