Here's an insanely left-field project - turns a RPi into a CD-quality powerful FM stereo transmitter without using any extra hardware by hacking the spread-spectrum functionality of the board with a kernel driver, plus one GPIO pin :) :

I wonder if this exceeds the 50 nanowatt legal limit for the 88-108mhz band?

interestingly I've been installing a couple of remote weather stations using AVRs and broadcasting/recieving on 433mhz before uploading to the web. It's absolutely amazing how busy/polluted the 433mhz band is. Takes a lot of filtering and checksumming to avoid interference......we're doomed I tell you, doomed!

I presume that was a rhetorical question? :)
