[Powerstation-discuss] Hi from Tokyo Hackerspace

Got it. I'll save the FM transmitter project for a different time. 

For the WiFi distribution, how about if we put together a tutorial video for
other occupy locations on taking up a cellular MiFi modem and distributing
the WiFi signal over a longer range using a router and a decent antenna. It
would turn a MiFi type device into a portable hotspot for a decent sized
area. 

Other suggestions are welcome too :)
