[amsat-bb] 2 meter interference from WiFi hub

[Burns Fisher]

Thanks, Jerry.  This one is clearly mine.  I unplug it...the frequency
comes back.  I thought it might be beating two different channels, and I
guess that's possible but the WiFi channels are 5MHz apart, although they
do overlap.  For now, I'll just turn it off when trying to use AO-91 :-)
