My vision of an amateur system using the 2.4Ghz equipment requires significant
power. Unless we can first acheive that then we are wasting our time.

My mental picture of the 2.4Ghz future;

 A well place site running say 10 to 20 watts.
Antenna that wouild give coverage of most of the area so it could be used as a
repeater between stations.

The facility for  each member of  the group, club  area to have  their own web
page on the system. They can have photos of the station themselves etc etc.

 The club  that runs  the system  could have  plenty of  files mostly  amateur
related for ftp downloading. As much freeware and/or shareware as is legal.
A radiomail service linked to the now widespread WW Pactor messaging system.


2.4 Ghz Links could be established to other similar systems in adjacent areas.

There must be several more  facilities that we could implement. All completely
independant from the internet.

 However while ever we "play" with milliwatts we are wasting our time.

Fix the power problem first !
