Forgot to mention in my last posting that I have seen RF problems on long 
ethernet cables. Specifically it was connecting two tents approx 50m apart 
on VHF FD for packet cluster access. The ethernet cable was troubled by 
350W of 2m. We fitted WiFi boards at both ends - they worked and were RF 
immune.

I didn't have the courage to try WiFi for IOTA this year but have played 
with it here between two machines. So it could be that WiFi is more RF 
resilient than a long twisted pair ethernet cable.  Anyone out there had 
any experience with WiFi in RF rich environments?
