True, I was just wondering what the law was, I didn't say I'd stick to it! ;-)

So a directional aerial won't actually boost your transmit power, if you are 
to stay within the law, but will allow you a stronger receive signal, yeah?

I've seen some impressive statistics quoted using normal equipment strapped to 
an old satellite dish, I might try that some day... although I think it's 
still pretty much "line of sight". :-(
