Something to talk up on this list, and put out in the newsletter...

Point-to-point ad-hoc wireless networking. To and from the larger
hamfests.

1) Get hams to carpool to hamfests. environmentally sound, traffic
   congestion reducing, and lets someone other than the driver handle
   the radios, laptops, and antennas.

2) coordinate via standard 2m or 440 MHz NBFM radios, so that the
   vehicles in which two or more groups of hams are travelling in can
   be brought in closer proximity.

3) establish 802.11 links between vehicles. Exchange e-QSLs, try
   full-duplex audio and video communications.

Something to do on the way to and from Dayton this year.

Things to talk about before then: protocols for pre-arranged ad-hoc
network settings, protocols for e-QSL exchange.

As much fun as war-driving is, it would be really neat if a technique
caught on where, when two war-driving platforms get near each other,
they can exchange their found access point logs.
