Hi there.

I did a search, but I can't seem to come up with any information on this.

Is there any 802.11b users out there that have reclassified their Part 15 Wireless Ethernet equipment as Part 97 Amateur Radio Equipment? I am eager to hear from anyone using the ham radio overlap on the first 6 channels or so to establish wide-area networks using 802.11b.

Some of the information I've been reading is here: http://www.qsl.net/kb9mwr/projects/w...rnet_GBPPR.pdf

FCC regulations permit up to 100 watts on the ham radio overlap. I am just curious to hear if anyone has run expanded power or have networks operating with IDs similar to the way the GBPPR paper has it set up. According to FCC regulations, ham radio operators have preferential treatment on these channels, except for industrial, scientific, and medical purposes.

Anyone?
