Yes, I am. I have been for a while but lack the test equipment to build my
own. I have played around with the Wavelan stuff for 915 Mhz, but it
doesn't work too well. It looks as though the newer proxim symphony cards
are a better bet.

I've been waiting for tapr.org to come out with their spread spectrum
device for quite some time now.

As far as techie stuff for SS goes - anyone thought of using a GPS device
for synchronization? They have that very accurate clock. I don't know too
much about GPS but its something that occured to me.

I've got a radio page on http://sinister.com/radio and look at
http://bowsig.am as well.
