If I'm doing the math correctly...

Radio speed = 669,600,000 Miles Per Hour
670 million / 60 Mph = 8.96 x 10-8 as fast
or about 8 millionths of one percent as fast.

So, at 60 Mph, you're Doppler shifting the radio
less than 8 millionths of one percent in frequency.

At 2450 Mhz, that would mean that you'd be shifting
it by about 2/10th of a Hz and the effective frequency
as a result would be 2450.0002 Mhz, if I do the math right.

With 1 Mhz channel spacing, I don't think 802.11b
equipment is designed to be that discriminating?
