LOL Aren't the RF signals from the routers in the same space as all
the other stuff? Some where between channel 5 and 6 on your TV?

Q. Does Usenet help stamp out ignorance?
A. That depends on whether by `stamp out' you mean `eliminate'
or `reproduce rapidly in great quantity.'

Frequencies high enough to be labled "microwave" (500 MegaHertz to 30
GigaHertz is one definition) are far too directional and far too easily
absorbed by nearly any obstruction for that plan to work. The curvature
of the Earth make long distances difficult unless you happen to own a
couple of mountaintops with towers on them. But you still wouldn't need
that much power if you did have the towers, distances of 100 miles has
been achieved by standard power wireless equipment, just with special
antennas and line of sight clearance.

Thanks for the update, guess I was thinking of FM. I really haven't
kept up with all the new technology since AM signals started racing
across the sky. <g> Thanks again, I'll try to remember that.

Hiya Old Gringo.

In <1kcxp57id650n$.dlg@NuBoy-Industries.com> you wrote:

AM and FM are nothing to do with the frequency (well, they each work
better on different frequency ranges but that's besides the point). AM
adjusts the amplitude of a carrier wave to transmit a signal and FM adjusts
the frequency. This has the side effect of a much larger bandwidth for FM
than AM.

The signal acts differently depending on the wavelength (and thus
frequency). Short wave signals will actually bounce off the ionosphere and
the ground and make it across the globe. Medium wave has an approximate
range of 50 miles in daytime, but at night, when the ionosphere is less
agitated by the sun, it's about 200 miles as the signal bounces back to
earth. VHF and above are line of sight.

That's all from memory from a course I did almost 20 years ago, so forgive
me if there are slight inaccuracies

And what license mill did you use? Which Q&A cheatbook did you memorize?

I passed the General Radiotelephone from working knowledge and my USAF
techschool books, not questions with answers. FWIW, I held 1 9-level and
3 more 7-level commo electronics Air Force Specialty Codes. I didn't
need a license in the military but decided it might just help with a
civilian job. It would have been a "First" but I waited too long and Fox
Charley changed the rules.

Let me guess:
You decided to use that 2nd class to repair ChickenBanders. You got to
meet truckers and decided that 18wheelin' would get you more pussy than
fixin' radios. The rest is history best left untold.
