Just dump the NF calibration results (sysctl dev.ath.X.hal.debug=0x8)
and crank it up to say, 2 to 5 seconds (sysctl hw.ath.longcal=5).
Let's see what the NF results are like.

I have a nasty feeling that the AR9280 series NICs report some rather
high NF values. The values themselves aren't actually raw NF dBm,
they're just a dB value - but the fact that it's so high is likely a
symptom of the overall problem (which is likely that the signal levels
are all configured wrong when faced with interference.)
