Can you make your own wifi router or dedicated data link for the internet?

You already said that HAM cannot use his license for such kind of transmissions. So what remains - part 15. Or did I miss something?

Wait, what?

I think both of us are now cornfuzed.  I thought we were all still busy beating a dead horse, while thrown a twist in talking about the 900MHz band now instead of the 2.4GHz band or above.

Incidentally, can anyone explain why many people always write, "HAM" and not, "ham"?  Every time I see it capitalized, I think, "Hold And Modify" - a term dating back to the Commodore Amiga.

Right. Now I am confused as well. Anyways I agree to what you are saying regarding everything including dead horse. IMHO answer to subject is: yes indeed you can make anything you want, but not always it is worth it.

BTW I am surprised that FCC is allowing 100% duty cycle "spread spectrum" (which I believe OFDM is not) radios in the 900MHz band. Where they plan to run those "IoT thingie" long range networks then? AFAIK SigFox in US uses same 900MHz band.

I can tell only about myself - all the time I assumed that "ham" is some obscure abbreviation and shall be written capital letters. It is not? - lol then

Ha!  Nope.  Not at all.
Technically it should be "Amateur Radio".
As for the moniker, "ham", it is definitively not an acronym.  The true meaning is much more dubious though...

What is very hilarious though is the occasional story of a group of PETA-type wankers who protested outside the gates of a "Hamfest" (swap meet catering mostly to amateur radio enthusiasts).  I kid you not!
