I noticed something the other day... something really quite interesting...

out of US, europe and Japan (and Aust) only the last has access to all 14 
channels, even if the top ones are power limited...

why is this important?
well, you can only have adjacent channels more than 3 apart...

that means you can have 1, 5, 9, and 13 (or, adding 1 to each, 2, 6, 10, and 
14). that is 4 colours... er channels.. in a given geographic area... right?  
so how many colours does it take to fill in a map?

I would like to suggest that MW try to limit itself to using either of these 
sets of signals only...1,5,9,and 13, and... 2,6,10 and 14.  this means that 
if you want to carve out new wireless territory (homesteading the wireless 
wilderness) and you impinge on someone elses footprint, you can choose from 
the maximum number of channels for the lowest interference (lowest noise, 
greatest throughput)...

someone do a sanity check on this for me...
