Spelling: SafetyFAQ
* 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 ?
[1]
* 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]
* 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). [3]
* How do I do this? Whats the deal with EIRP? [4]
* How in the heck do i work out my EIRP then ? [5]

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 [6] 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.
-------------------------
HOW DO I DO THIS? WHATS THE DEAL WITH EIRP?
-------------------------
HOW IN THE HECK DO I WORK OUT MY EIRP THEN ?
