Hi Ian,

Thanks for the reply.

Are there any small ethernet-connected transmitter-receiver units which 
will sit at the end of
a LAN cable, and which might sit at the focal point of a discarded 
satellite dish ?

I note that 802.11a is 5 GHz,  most of the others 2.4-2.5 GHz.
I guess that is in the Amateur band, and that a licensed amateur might 
legally employ
higher power levels.  I must look at the band limits.

Geoff.
