Kip,

Please keep in mind that the ARRL Band Plan was written almost a decade
before 802.11 came into wide use. Also, recall that the ARRL Band Plan is
only a recommendation. Local frequency coordination is decided by the
Repeater Councils, most commonly for frequency pairs, but often for simplex
channel use too.

I suggest that for all practical purposes you simply ignore the ARRL 2.4 GHz
band plan, and focus more attention on coordinating with your local repeater
council. That is exactly what they do too, anyway! (HI)

73,
