Hi all,

http://www.w5kub.com/ has done this for the past few years at amateur radio shows. I've enjoyed watching W5KUB's feed over the past couple of years.
He even does the feed while making the driving trip.

If anyone can provide good information on how to do it, it would be him.
Just an FYI.

WAY over my head though:-)
