No doubt that he's clearly breaking the no-license requirements, but also
keep in mind, that ONLY the first 3 channels of the 802.11b  frequencies are
in the ham bands.

The 1st channel is in the DATA portion of the ham band, the other two are in
the voice areas.

I missed you in Dallas this weekend.

While I was watching Tech TV Screen Savers ( http://www.techtv.com ) they
were interviewing a guy in San Francisco Bay area that was setting up a
whole city wide network of 802.11b wireless LAN Internet nodes by attaching
larger gain antennas, and I believe amplifiers to these part 97 devices. He
even mentioned how hard it was to do since the connectors are not
available, (just another FCC law to bypass).

I know there are CA users on this list. Please send me more information on
this if you have some. I would like to send this information to the FCC. I
think this is a blatant attack on the 2.4 GHz HAM spectrum. If you would
like please send the information to me off the list and I will compile it.

Thanks for your time,

Fred Juch, N5JXO
