[WARC] An entry point for HSMM experimentation

[Leslie Hittner]

I have been looking at 2.4 Ghz access points. They are more
costly but can be purchased as higher power devices and are
available in environmentally controlled packages for outside
installations. I believe the higher powered options are for use
in jurisdictions outside of the US. Seems like a good match for
ham use.
