That is why i am asking if it can be done if it cannot be done then i wont do it and stay away from ham radio. don't want to waste my money getting a license or the time to study if it cannot be done. It's not a question of whether it CAN be done. In the technical sense, of course it can. The question is whether what you want to do is applicable to the real purposes of the amateur radio service. I will add that getting wireless access to the Internet is not why the service exists. You would know this if you had taken the time to do some basic research with Part 97 of the FCC regs, or visited ARRL.org and read 'The Amateur's Code.' If you don't like the thought of helping to serve the real purposes of amateur radio (helping with disaster and other emergency communications, teaching a ham radio class, developing the skills and acquiring the tools necessary to tinker with radio and related electronic hardware, etc.), then you would be well advised to steer clear of the amateur service. In short: If all you really want is wireless Internet access, pop down to your local CompUSA or whoever, and pick up the hardware to do it. Anyone who wants to can buy it, no license required. -- Dr. Anton Squeegee, Director, Dutch Surrealist Plumbing Institute (Known to some as Bruce Lane, KC7GR) kyrrin a/t bluefeathertech d-o=t c&o&m "Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati" (Red Green) |
