A family member got an iPad and is able to receive my streaming radio station using a free Shoutcast iPhone App, and then he can walk around within range of his wi-fi and hear my programs. He’s going to test the range of his wi-fi and we’ve already talked about improving its antenna placement or power.
But why not an audio-only portable wi-fi radio? We would need a screenless OS (operating system) which could be invented by part15.us members. It would be the product which could underwrite this website forever.

Perfect, Lee!
Up until now I’ve only done hard wired computering as a security measure, but now Wi Fi suddenly looks tasty. And I suspect that it’s actually a Part 15 medium, making it part of the discussion here.
The link you provided opens the opportunity to learn about and experiment with Wi Fi.
The next question I think of is whether a Wi Fi station can somehow be a server exclusively for a radio website and stream.
If a Wi Fi station opens the entire internet to the public it defeats the purpose of wanting to draw attention to a specific radio station. Comments?
Wi-Fi is part 15
Wi-Fi is actually a super charged part 15.
It has range of up to 3 or 5 miles using a directional gain antenna.
I can’t remember the specifics though but I have read a few good posts somewhere about this.
