I meant as a jamming tool in protest, LOL. If you could coordinate who uses a given channel near each other and lower power levels you might coexist. I know it's a 1-6-11 (2-6-10?) choice but if you are on 1 and he 11 in proximity, reversed for other overlaps that would go a long way. Directional antennas & mutual lower power might also help.
