Thanks Don. I like this approach and will try it out on my portable node.

Thank you in advance,

	There is an option to set "priority=n" for each entry, when multiple networks are available simultaneously, the one with the *highest* numerical priority value ("n") is selected.; see:
	https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA_supplicant

	You can even use priority=-999 as your fallback, last choice.

	HTH,
