You'll need to look at allowable field strengths, restricted frequencies, etc. Depending on your frequency of operation you may be fine designing and building something that will work but that's a high data rate to have to deal with. Good luck with your project. Hope it all goes well. When I was in engineering school almost 40 years ago we didn't have projects as neat as this to do!
I will definitely take a look at part 97 again. Thank you for the heads up! I appreciate your input.
