I think the big picture long term solution is for tracks to build local WiFi networks (much like University Campuses do) and utilize VoWiFi. We could show up with our phones (which everyone already has), a Bluetooth headset (<$100) and connect. You'd be able to talk to anyone on site, no cell service required, no interference, no FCC licenses. I think most would pay a reasonable event fee for reliable communication (based on what people are spending for marginal radio performance).

If VIR had heard of the statement above in bold they are probably working on it. VIR would charge you for breathing if they could figure a way to measure it. :stick:

Race cars move too fast. You'd be in and out of range before your radio ("cell phone") would even notice. With marginally illegal, high power gear, set for rapid scanning, it's possible. But it won't be all that stable.

(That said, I have some old pre-802.11 breezecom gear that will work to about a mile. At that range, data rate would be ~1Mbps. I've never seen anything capable of jamming it. :-))

I'm pretty sure with an amateur licence I can dump 1.5KW out a radio on 802.11 frequencies as long as I keep it on channels 1-6. That'll solve that handover problem. :v

Looks like there is a name for it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-speed ... edia_radio
