[MohawkARC] Field Day Set-Up/Wifi range

[Kevin Erickson]

I think we need to take a close look at that WiFi antenna or cable on the

signal on a phone or laptop outside and all around the trailer. But that
antenna was barely living up a thing. Maybe bad placement but I'm suspect
of its connection or something.
