[MLB-WIRELESS] Cloud cover and 802.11 speed?!

[Tony Langdon]

Cloud shouldn't make too much difference at 2.4 GHz (tends to be more of an
issue above 10 GHz).  However, damp foliage is another matter, and if it was
a damp day, you might have had a vegetation problem (the network was in a
vegetative state? ;) ).
