With the setup we have now we might not need much.....?
I'll have to bring my laptop and cam next time...

Could we mount a camera on the clubhouse that would zoom in closer to launch and the wind sock, and have it feed to Ustream? that would be nice... Looked like a cool website, easy to use.

That would be a nice upgrade to our current webcam. I wonder how much upstream bandwidth we have on the clubhouse DSL connection, and how much a real time webcam would use for a private stream to the ustream server where it's publicly hosted.
Is there a weatherproof box that the current cam sits in?

Oh, I never thought of that. I guess if you put a long range antennae on a wireless webcam (I guess they make those now?) and/or the router in the clubhouse it could work, subject to bandwidth.

The cam sits behind a plexiglass window, I wonder how far the wireless signal would reach? Camera near launch (comming out of the juniper south of the windsock) on a perch with a 360 deg window? (or a north & south shot?)
(((((We could have a live webcast flying channel on sirrus))))))
just a thought
