Tony: the technology I'm using is FPV, which has its own radio frequency
range. Anyone with an FPV antenna could watch it. I've seen converter boxes
to wifi, so it could be done. I wonder though if its a good idea to
advertise patrons using their own phones, I don't want the club to turn
into IT Support. At the last show a woman wanted me to fix her phone camera
because "if you guys made all this you can surely fix my phone."

Gary B: I've not used that decoder so I couldn't say, but I found LEDs are
the most reliable light choice with most decoders.

Phil: that looks very nice. GoPro is the way to go if you can manage to fit
it inside your equipment. FPV was the first viable tech I've seen for HO or
smaller.
