Ask for an experimental license to use DMB-T. It works mobile and
there are probably a lot of low cost mobile receivers for it. Or DVBT
or T-2. Lots of cheap receivers for DVBT. I don't know what is
available for DVBT-2 mobile. If you do it as a non-profit and make it
work well they should extend your license or make it permanent.
