>> 5. One 40-pin RPi header
>> 6. 100 ft of shielded CAT5 or CAT 6 cable with RJ-45 connectors on each end
>> 7. Parts to build an underground pipe enclosure for the far end (3' of 1.5" PVC pipe, PVC fittings, bubble level, waterproof RJ45 F/F bulkhead connector, etc)
>> The plan is to make a kit available from TAPR containing items #2 - #5, and another kit containing all the items needed for #7. The cable and the Pi 4 can be purchased on-line. Suggest direct burial or conduit for cable.
