I have several of these, but $5 with a Pi seems worth looking into!  Thanks. N0UU

Or sending them out to some friends along the path and recording on WSPR-X.  If the new $5 Rasp Pi modules come out in time I'm willing to bet that they might almost be the whole rig....with a bit of oomph added.  No need to go get them after the big show.
