Nope, Ham operates on a number of bands with wavelengths ranging from 10 meters to 160 meters. 2.4ghz is a much shorter wavelength (roughly 32cm). They behave totally different.

Aaaaahhhhh right, the FCC and OFCOM (in the UK) must have it all wrong then....

Whoops, error on your part sir...

13 Centimeters (2300-2310 and 2390-2450 MHz)
Frequency Range

Emission
Bandwidth

Functional Use

2300.000-2303.000

0.05 - 1.0 MHz

Analog & Digital, including full duplex; paired with 2390 - 2393

2303.000-2303.750

< 50 kHz

Analog & Digital; paired with 2393 - 2393.750

2303.75-2304.000


Just an excerpt from.... http://www.arrl.org/band-plan, scroll down the page, you`ll also see that HAM DOESN`T stop at 10M
 
I'm so thankful you don't live anywhere near me! People with mentalities such as yourself are the reason regulation is needed.

Well, I suppose there might be some use for a ham radio that only has a range of a few thousand feet. I don't know what it would be, but I'm sure somebody would have a use for it.

I suppose if you put such a antenna up high on a tower, you could get some decent propagation out of it.

EDIT: Although, Like I said, I don't have a tower. I'm not doing any such thing. It's a laptop for crying out loud. (With a dinky little mimo antenna)

Oh, god....

The last thing needed is more regulation. We're sill waiting for regulation on the 700mhz band.

My opinion is what we need is massive, large scale across all bands, deregulation. The FCC charter should be completely rewritten.
 
You don't need a tower for distance.

And people like you are the reason we need regulation. If you would just stop being an idiot and actually try to educate yourself, we could all live in a nice regulation free world. Unfortunately, thats never going to happen. You seem perfectly happy to ignore the laws of physics and hundreds of years of collected scientific knowledge, content in the "fact" that you know better than everyone else.

And it's people like you that make excuses to force others to do what you do. That's why deregulation is absolutely necessary.

EDIT: Hundreds of years? Really? It's only been since the early 1880s. And really only since the 1930s that rf has been in significant use. And only since 2004 that wifi has had significant use. And MOST of that regulation is completely useless today, and yet we still have arrogant peole like you claiming it's the only best way.

This is better than TV. Its like an interactive reality TV show.
 
Radio waves were predicted in 1867 by James Clerk Maxwell, which I guess for certain definitions counts as the "early 1880s".

20 years later Heinrich Hertz demonstrated the properties as described by James Clerk Maxwell.

But that brings us off topic.

The first experimental broadcast was in like 1881 or 1882 or something like that.. I don't remember clearly

EDIT:

1880 apparently....

EDIT: That's what's great about ham I think. If you could get a 160 meter antenna, you could operate on the 160 meter wavelength band. You can get some really awesome ranges out of your equipment. Of course most ham operators probably use the 10 meter wavelength band just because the antenna is probably cheaper.

what the hell are you talking about? there are ham bands wayyyyyy above 10 meters

the rest of your post is so mind bogglingly far from reality I don't even know how to respond
 
Wait, so you're actually admitting that someone else knows better than you?
