[TowerTalk] 300 MHz Remote Switch

[Pete Smith]

Recently, on a whim, I bought one of these 
<http://www.ebay.com/itm/12V-8-Channel-Way-Relay-Output-RF-Remote-Control-Switch-/130545242235#vi-content>, 
thinking it might be possible to use it to switch beverages at a point 
about 250 feet from my house.  I knew, of course, that the little 
hand-held remote couldn't possibly reach that far, but thought maybe I 
could cobble something up.

Looking at it, I'm impressed by the relay assembly, which seems very 
sturdily made.  Is there any possibility, through the use of antenna 
improvements on both ends, that I might be able to get the range of the 
thing up to what's necessary, or would I be better off just modifying 
the relay assembly as a wired switch.
