The term 'idiot boy' sprang instantly to mind when I read your postingl; clearly you know only that someone has something you want and little else. Over 8 decades ago the Navy Department (that was in charge of all wireless operations) gave amatuer radio operators "200 meters and down" for experimentation. In terms you'll understand that means from the AM broadcast band to your laser pointer. Since then amatuers have been second only to the military (I know "Can we have our bases back please?)in developing technology in basements, attics and garages around the world at no cost to you tax payers. With few exceptions the amateur spectrum has been constantly compressed since it was turned back on after WWII despite GROWTH (see, there are these small things called "facts") in the number of licensed amateurs in the last 10 years. Regardless, amateurs are doing amazing things with their small bandwith slices most notably APRS and PK31 which exchanges data over great distances using very low power. In the future keep the old adage in mind: better to keep your lips sealed and be thought a fool, than to open them and be proved one.
