No. Licensed services run more power and they do not operate at the resonant frequencies of the water molecules (microwave oven frequencies).

Something is not right in that system.  If 2.48Ghz has such terrible path
loss characteristics as a result of simple fog, it wouldn't be as widely
used on paths as much a 10 times that length with 99.9999% realibility.
