maybe this belongs in the config file and set outside the tests?

This is just a setup so that the "low signal" alert triggers reliably when I
vary the transmit power on the AP.  I don't think (yet) that this is widely
applicable to other tests than this one.  Changing the comment to be more
explicit.
