! I fell off the roof of my home after installing an antenna, and I need someone to sue. Who runs this fscking group, and who insures it ?

We are (almost certainly) not liable, but if you feel we are contact the comitee who will be able to give details.

! Is 2.4Ghz radiation safe? I' ve heard it uses the same radiation as my microwave oven? Are you killing me / my chances to reproduce ?

2.4Ghz signals used for 802.11b/g are limited by law to a maximum total output of 4W [EIRP] this is far lower then a microwave oven by over three orders of magnitude. Even high output cards only put out 200mw (milli-watts) of power, and thus need an antenna to hit the legal limit.

! Someone mentioned 4w is the max power output allowed. i want "more power" and I'm willing to spend some serious money to boost my signal (and to microwave my neighbours, the people who live in a 10km radius and the surrounding wildlife). 

Then you will be breaking Australian comunications law and will be liable for a very large fine.

In addition we have links of over 50KM that are fully-legal, at that point the latency incurred by the distance starts causing serious problems and even if you could do a 500KM link it would simply be unusable.
