Correct. Ham radio can not be used for any commercial purpose.
WISP-type operation for money is not legal. A ham radio club could
operate an Internet-connected access point for their own use (like for
emergency communications, experimentation, etc.) but the access point
and each end-point (CPE) would need to be under the control of a
licensed amateur radio operator. jack Jeromie Reeves wrote: Aside the moral issue with that, is it not 'no commercial transactions' when operating under ham rules?On Mon, Apr 26, 2010 at 11:24 AM, Jack Unger <jun...@ask-wi.com> wrote:Yes; a very dirty and disreputable way.

HAMs can use 2390MHz-2450MHz and put out a max EIRP of 1.5kW, but in that RF range (2.4GHz) that is called a "microwave oven". HAMs can also use 5650MHz-5925MHz. http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Hambands_color.pdf It's not a secondary license but a secondary allocation. We are still licensed. As I mentioned previously, spread spectrum emission types are not allow that much "boost" but other emission types are.
