Ditto here in Warner Robins, GA. I have a home on the edge of a new
subdivision. Between the building still being built and the large about of
construction (widing and rerouting the roads), there is a lot of activity. I
also live within 20 miles of Robins Air Force Base (RAFB). This SST-PR-1
wirlesss network has come up and down often over the last few months. I
finially did a search and found this thread.
