Can the SSID be changed and encryption turned off? I would imagine that these two rules would make it impossible to connect to an Xfinity hotspot. Usually when hams use wifi gear as ham radio they make the SSID their callsign. – Part 97 requires the amateur to identify themselves with their callsigns at least every 10 minutes. That opens these users up to 2 issues that I am sure about, maybe a 3rd too. Using that higher output power however means that the amateur must comply with all of the part 97 (amateur radio) rules rather than part 15 (unlicensed) rules that normally cover WiFi. It is also true that a ham may repurpose WiFi gear for amateur use and even get to use a higher output power. It is true that in the US WiFi bands are shared with amateur radio bands. Nobody else noticed that despite the assertion at the begining and end of the video this was not in fact legal?

Using a dish and a 1 Watt USB network adapter, they were able to get on computer on the network and then use connection sharing to propagate the WiFi around the Field Day site. In this case, there was no hotspot in range, but across the lake there were several. If you have home Internet through that provider, you can usually use these hot spots for free. You usually need to opt out of this and most people don’t. The key that made it possible is the fact that most cable companies now broadcast public WiFi hotspots from residential and commercial routers. has a video (see below) that shows how they grabbed Internet from a distance for their Field Day site. Today, though, you probably need an Internet-connected computer to do logging and other features. That’s why most stations use a generator, solar cells, or even batteries. It isn’t much of a Field Day without electricity.

Usually, this means taking over some park or camp site, bringing generators, portable equipment, and making it all work for the weekend before you tear it back down. This is an annual exercise where radio operators are encouraged to set up stations in conditions that might occur after a natural disaster.
Many Ham Radio operators in the United States participate in Field Day.
