There is unlicenced spectrum where encrypted traffic is allowed (900MHz, 2.4GHz, 5.8GHz) why aren't those adequate for these experiments?

- godelski 7y agoWiFi frequencies are often crowded and harder to get range on.
- geofft 7y agoThose are way higher frequencies than the popular ham bands. I can barely get wifi to cover my apartment, but I can reliably pick up folks from across the city on my handheld radio. (Which is why spectrum is much more valuable and there aren't unlicensed bands.)
