i forgot if kismet showed signal strengths of the wifi ap's ...
"stronger" signal wins over weaker signal strengths

might not be a jamming issue ??  kismet and tcpdump might be able to show
you the packets you're looking for ?

what happens if you put up a properly designed wire mess around the exterior 
windows of your house/condo/aptr??

i'd wag/blindly say the area is probably full of rogue wifi ap's floating around
where evergbody is trying to wardrive each other and pick up un-suspecting
traveling visitor's login and passwd info ... signals bouncing off steel/concrete
is not ez to filter out what should be random background white noise if
you're sitting next to the radiating source ..
