Hi, Actually, Victor F1BIU has demonstrated three years ago at the REF-Union Annual meeting in Villepinte a 10GHz high speed link with multiplexed signals including ATV, digitized voice and packet radio. Thus the technique already exists. We just have to use it for amateur band occupation. This year, in SARATECH, F1BIU and F6FBB are preparing a demonstration of high speed packet transmission on 1.2 GHz (64 Kb/s) with HTML pages consultation between two Linux machines. See Victor F1BIU nice description of a high speed 1.2 GHz TRX kit at the following URL http://www.ccr.jussieu.fr/physio/f6bvp/thd2.html ------------------------ Mark Schoonover wrote : > > Karl and the Group: > > I do see some possibilities in what Karl is saying.
