[MohawkARC] Field Day Set-Up/Wifi range

[Matt Tatro]

First we need to get adapters to mate the external antenna with whatever
router we decide to use in the trailer.  We need to keep things simple and
not try to patch in any bridges or whatnot.  Then I think we need to do an
actual test, with the trailer on-location and using whatever
laptops/computers we will be running.  Wouldn't take long just to check the
signal levels.

Remember how close the stations were in Hubbardston.  We had limited
interaction between stations from what I remember.  If we have 50ft more of
separation, the interaction will be much less.  Whether or not an extra 50
feet will kill the wifi, I'm not sure.
