I know this is kinda weird, but has anybody ever done a wireless network
using ham radio or CB radio to transmit. If so, what is the maximum distance
you can get up to. I dont really care about security or anything, I'm really
a newbie (1 month) to linux and the idea intrigued me since I am a ham radio
operator. Is it do-able and can many people tap your data?

Do a engine search on "packet" you'll find all the info you need.
Jnos and Tnos are the two main TCP/IP packet programs with
Tnos being state of the art but not that user friendly. Take a look
in the ARRL repeater directory for the digital frequency's and
scan them to see if you hear anyone on 2m or 70cm. As far as
security most non AMPR are blocked i.e. non 44.XX.XX.XX
with mail being the exception in most cases common sense with
networking should keep the system pretty safe, or as the story goes
unplug it and put it in the closet if you want to be real safe :))
