Sorry if this is a dumb question but where do AREDN operations stand now in the 5gig band?    I have been overseas for awhile and just returned CONUS.  What channel is recommended for 5gig nodes?

What channel is recommended...?

Hi, Hank:

 My AREDN network operations in the 5650-5925 MHz band span channels 131 - 177 in operation (9 nodes).
I use channels 183 and 184 for testing as I have found that the maximum TX power drops off about 10 dB
gradually from channel 165 to 184. Maximum power at channel 184 was found to  be -10 dB compared to channels 131 to 165.
As a rule my high profile neighbors avoid Nightly Builds, so I have been enjoying exclusive access to channel 131.
;-)
