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). 73's Richard Clark, KB7QHC 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. -- Bruce in alaska add path after fast to reply most, but not all, of the channels used for wifi fall in the amateur allocation. so if you really want to be technical be sure you set the access point on the good channels, as well as adding your call for identification, filtering content, etc. |
