Re: [amsat-bb] Wide area WiFi

If it's 802.11b or 802.11g, any channel other than 1 will probably be 
all right, although the higher numbered channels are better.  Channel 1 
really raises the noise floor right in the middle of the AO-40 
downlink, but 1-5 are all in the amateur allocation .. try and steer 
them toward 6 or higher if possible.  It may not be possible given the 
requirements of their frequency coordination, but just make them aware 
that 1-5 will cause us trouble in general and 1 is particularly 
problematic ..
