Dear list fellows,
In the April 2003 issue of QST magazine (a popular magazine for amateur radio people) I read the article "High Speed Multimedia Radio" by Kris Mraz, N5KM.
I am not a ham, and there is some information in the article that I don't fully understand. Let me submit my current understanding for validation.
If you cant find a copy of the article, this quick and dirty one might help those of you with good eyes: http://www.angelfire.com/droid/mechahawk/qst_article/
It is my understanding that If I have a ham license I can:
1. operate my WiFi equipment under part 97 rules instead of normal part 15
rules.
2. operate using up to 100 Watts APC (as opposed to the normal wimpy 30-200
mW ).
3. only use this added power on WiFi channels 1-6.
4. NOT use WEP due to ham encryption constraints???
5. NOT use this added power commercially.
Am I on target here?
Chris
