I've been thinking about this since yesterday. With a lower resolution
like Brian suggested the data would fit over a Gigabit Ethernet link.
Further, GE carries 100 meters which would allow one to put the device
right at the antenna if one has a weatherproof enclosure. Supplying
power would be an issue still, but that's easily overcome.
With some simple compression one might be able to accommodate a higher
performance ADC aswell, but that's an issue I shouldn't need to bother
with using 12 bits and 65MHz...

It's a solution superior to PCIe in every way.

Is there any work on this done already? If not, how do I start? =)
