Default Ham WIFI?

Since 802.11b/g have several channels in our shared 2390-2450MHz band, can a ham
set up a "super WIFI" node using QRO?

That question has come up every so often in the last 10 years, and the
answer is YES providing that all the ham rules - use of a channel
within the ham band, proper ID every ten minutes, control operator,
etc - are followed.

I'm not proposing to do so, but the concept seems viable, so long as the node
does not use encryption.


That is correct,
