I am guessing that the UHF+ freqs will penetrate the cage - though
locating it "under the house" would surely limit coverage! I am using
a Draft-N LinkSys and have not observed any notable HF RFI.
My antennas are all coax fed at the moment and are too far from the
house to be a conduit. I also power the cable modem and LinkSys
from a trickle-charged battery which likely keeps RFI out of the AC.
(My rig is also run from a big trickle-charged deep-cycle battery.)
I look forward to what James shares about his wireless coverage.
