Those crazy guys down at the l0pht were doing this a number of years ago with their GNet project. It doesn't look very difficult to build, the main problem being "line of sight" or something /VERY/ close to it. Also doing anything more than a few miles (100miliwatts) can get expensive.
All you really need is good soddering skills and basic electronics knowledge (more than you need for your ham license)
Possibly the largest problem with this is the FCC's rules on "codes and cyphers" which strictly disallows using them in anyfassion exect to control remotecontroled hobby craft (yeah you should hear the rule on transmitting music if you thought that was silly). I don't know about you but setting this up would be oh so much more uber elite using IPSec on both ends.
as for EPA problems...microwave is directional and so long as there isn't anything in the way...I wouldn't suggest looking into while transmitting if you like seeing...
Getting the ham license is a joke, anyone who has any electronics knowledge and a handful of brain cells can pass it. I did mine in under a 3/2 mins (35 questions or so) and got one wrong.
but hey if anyone of you lives in Grand Rapid MI, letme know..I've been looking for someone to go in on a project like this but the only guy I know lives 7 miles away in a ditch (seriously)
