I woke up and barely remember what was on my mind last night, that possessed and guided me to eventually locate and download the following pics:
I only remember being too tired to share them here before dropping off once again. btw, yes I have decided to take a nice long break from broadcasting, and do not know exactly when I will return. But definitely soon (there is nothing wrong with your radio link).
Phew…Where to begin? This is a project I’ve been planning off and on since I built my first online radio station (late July/early August thereabouts..). Took 4 hours of actual hands on construction this afternoon. I can just now hop in my car and drive to Egypt or China, wherever there is a wifi signal and remotely control my radio station at home on pc from tablet, through portable hotspot (Splashtop is the app I use).
ALL material required (other than broom and dustpan), to duplicate the same setup I’ve invented/designed (essentials first): 10 inch android tablet, Franklin R850 portable hotspot, generic slip on steering wheel desk/mini table (w/removable/reattachable wire frame/steering wheels hooks), bluetooth keyboard w/mouse/touchpad, drill and largset drill bit you happen to have handy, bulk rolls of 2″ velcro w/peelable adhesive backing (scissors of course), plastic cable ties, velcro reusable fastening cable ties, and sharp/very durable knife to be able to further ream holes wherever necessary.
Non essentials (enitrely optional ) I chose to use in this setup (had absolutely no instructions or guide to be able to do this): portable bluetooth speaker, “fortune” brand noise isolator, “Tao Tronics” bluetooth transmitters (33 foot range max), “Boom Stick” bass booster (silver 3″ long flash drive looking device in pictures forthcoming), 100 foot range (max) bluetooth transmitter, common usb 2.0 charging hub, and common OTG micro usb adapter. There were absolutely no other hidden secret ingredients involved.
Here are around 65 pics from start to finish (with as few notes as possible):

Had a surpise visit from none other than Edward Scissorhands himself, in the flesh just mere moments after breaking my el cheapo 5 year old dollar tree scissors while reaming away at what my drill bit couldn’t knock out (speak of the ‘devil’.hahaha) https://pix.sfly.com/h9RBXo
Pictures shown here represent ongoing theme of the importance of drilling holes to pull wires through from underneath to be able to conceal them, an also to demonstrate the reliable hold of 2″ vecro on just about every component installed (while standing tray on it’s side): https://pix.sfly.com/b7KV3n
Other than the velcro, these are all entirely optional to include even the usb charging hub AND bluetooth speaker: https://pix.sfly.com/6Eoep1
Nothing specail here, just simply pics taken while making progress: https://pix.sfly.com/t1WmHU
Here is how I chose to (deliberately not at all permanently) mount the bluetooth speaker to the base beneath/below, as the drink holder on the left was forcing the ‘table’/tray/desk to lean to the right (placing the bt speaker in center serves more than one useful purpose : https://pix.sfly.com/eD5MGj
In these pics ( and in the background of others upcoming), I am pointing out that EVERYHTING connected to this finished (?) product is charging/maintaining a charge while only plugged into one usb charger. Most admittedly, they are not charging as quickly as usual… https://pix.sfly.com/4VOUrq
This section is simply showing the finishing touches/finessing I put into concealing the wires (for now), while waiting for shorter wires to replace them with to arrive: https://pix.sfly.com/giqOqB
Handy dandy level bubble I had leftover from assembling home arcade/enetertainment center recently: https://pix.sfly.com/934VMJ Different angles/views of finished product (for now, and even for many years to come as far as It concerns me): https://pix.sfly.com/p97Aa6 Obviously ready to go backpacking… Dimensions (tablet standing) 14″x10″ x7″, tablet laying (as pictured), 14″x10″x 2.25″. https://pix.sfly.com/ucJCG5
