   We're out in the desert about 22 miles from city hall (but still well   
   within the city of Phoenix). Only a handful of neighbors (not like   
   where we used to live in Sunnyvale).

   And the nearest cameras (neighbors) are about 150 feet on either side.   
   I just took a tablet out into the street, and it can see 20 SSIDs.   
   In the house, it only sees five (stucco walls and Low-E windows).

   One of the SSIDs is "DIRECT-QZ-VIZIOTV", but the MAC address it is   
   using (02:6b:9e:) is bogus according to the IEEE site.  I shouldn't   
   complain, as my HP laptop says it's 00:00:83: (Rugged Systems Ltd used   
   to build a SPARC powered Tadpole net-book which ran SunOS or Sloaris).
