Wifi would probably be the best option for reduced payload additions, since the G1 has it on board and all that. If it's tethered then how far away are we going to get anyway? I know Jonathan was mentioning he had some directional antennas. I'm thinking we could probably get the range as far as we need it for this application, considering we'd been considering trying to get wifi all the way up to the untethered balloon.<div>

Cables are heavy (lift a 100 ft box of cat5) and will reduce your<br>
payload to below zero.<br>
<br>
What about wifi? I'm sure I've seen some of you running around with<br>
2.4 GHz yagis...<br>
