Wouldn't 2.4 ghz fall in that range or does hf mean hf in the classical
sense of something on the scale of 3 to 49 mhz or so.

I think you will find that 802.11b and other terrestrial microwave LOS
links don't meet any of those criteria and should be unaffected.  Some
small increase in the noise level may be detected.

There is a high likelihood that things like 802.11, licensed and
unlicensed microwave links, and certainly satellite links will sustain
interference over the next few days. I assume that everyone on the list
is both aware, and prepared ;-)
