How long until someone's running TCP over this? It's just a matter of time until we can use this with a cantenna to control very-long range drones. Combine this with one of the winners of the Groupon DroneGames[1] and you could control a fleet of cheaply-made drones across a wide range. Is anyone interested in creating an autonomous fleet to patrol their property and airspace?

It would have been nice to show the FM modulation equation in use along with the code. I say this because most people underestimate the complexity of FM modulation and instead write an approximation that doesn't create the hoped-for result.

Here's a reference for the actual math:
