So much for "shall not cause interference." After seeing a comment fly
by on a list about protecting some portion of the 2.4GHz band from noise
for amateur satellite use, I realized proactive protection from hams is
pointless. The reason is that we can protect the band from ourselves,
but not from Part 15 devices without FCC litigation. And that would make
us exceptionally bad neighbors. Maybe a line needs to be drawn. Some
services may coexist peacefully. OFDM and weak signal, perhaps not.
