Title: Cell Tower/Phone Changes in BW/Q?
Post by Wind-In-Face on Jun 2nd, 2014 at 3:42pm
Hello to everyone!
I seem to recall a controversy regarding the construction of a cell phone tower east of Ely. Now that tripping season is upon us, I am wondering:
a. is it the unsightly scar that some feared?
b. has it affected coverage in the Q?
Especially for solo trippers, if there is cell coverage in a portion of the southern part of the park it may alleviate the desire/need to take a SPOT or sat phone. I don't mean to start a heated discussion on the virtues of taking a electronics on a canoe trip. Just wondering if this year's trippers can shed some light on the development.
Thanks to all in advance.
