BTW you could do this perfectly legally without using ham radio.. put
24dBi antennas at both ends, and 10 miles is no problem with standard
off the shelf 802.11 gear. that 40-50 dB extra gain is like running
kilowatts instead of the stock 100mW (or, another way, it gives you
100-300 times the range of the stock box)
