Looks like I need to dive into part 97 to figure out what I can and can’t do. So basically if it’s a https site you cannot use it because of the encryption, that makes sense but for basic browsing will that violate the rules?

Part 97 rules restrict usage of amateur radio frequencies, including for commercial usage or with encryption (HTTPS). Winlink would be a good use, there are a number of repeaters that have linking via HamWAN, there are several of our sites where we’ve installed streaming cameras for folks to watch. We very much intend HamWAN as a neutral network where you can run most any application you want as long as it stays clear of Part 97 rules and isn’t abusive.

I don’t know what it’s limitations are, video streaming is that out of the question? I know these might seem like stupid questions but I’m just curious what all I will be able to do after I get up and going?
