Hi Dave,

At the risk of becoming a stockade-lawyer, I've perused the band plans
(I presume that the 13cM band has not been confiscated in the past few
years), and I think I am reasonably adept at the law in this regard.
As WiFi shares our allocation; it is noteworthy that we as amateurs
are the ONLY service that does NOT require FCC type acceptance to
operate. To my mind, the only issue is one of knowingly interfering
with a service (that doesn't seem to be an issue, however).

True Richard, HOWEVER, if your passing Internet Traffic, over your
none-Type Accepted, Amateur Licensed WiFi Link, you MUST abide by
ALL the rules of Part 97, not just the ERP Rules, including Non-
Commercial Content, and Identification.
