Wireless at Osh

This has been a recurring topic with no clear answers.

I say, hoof it over to the hilton. They have wireless for their guests.
There is no sign on page, but I have no idea what their range is.

And someone will be sitting there with their laptop watching everything
streaming by in the ether. Google "ethereal" for more information. :-))
Beware of ARP cache poisoning, also.
Never use any program which transmits any of your passwords over an open
wireless network.

What about power for the laptop while camping by the plane. I don't think using an inverter through the aircraft battery
would be a good idea ;-)

I am looking at one of the Honda 1KW generators.
They are small and quiet, but weigh 29 pounds without fuel.
Use it to recharge the laptop computer, camcorder/still camera/cellphone
batteries.
Honda usually has a special reduced price on the field.

And it will run just fine on 100LL. But if you don't want to get a
generator, consider the phone charging booths. There's one near the
gate in the north 40. I charge my phone there sometimes and I'll bet
they will do your laptop as well.

You must be talking about the Honda EU1000i,
http://www.hondapowerequipment.com/M...elName=eu1000i it is a
real class act. Yamaha makes a similar unit, the EF1000is,
http://www.yamahagenerators.com/ef10...15125747344317 that is
similar and also excellent, and tends to have a lower street price.

I recently bought two of the Yamaha units at my job. In an informal test,
one of them ran our shop refrigerator (15 cu feet) for some 14 hours on a single
tank of gas (.66 gal)! We intend to use them to power certain small, critical,
communications installations following any disaster (read "hurricane") power
outage. May we never need them!

You can get a solar panel to keep the aircraft battery
charged and a solid state inverter should work fine to run
your cellphone and laptop chargers.

Any recommendations for solar panels?

We're bringing a couple of 5AH gel cells and a big photocell array to charge
them with.

Try this. I bought one last year from this guy. Works great.
