Just a comment on cellphone coverage. We cruise in the PNW where there are
lots of low signal areas. After purchasing a Wilson Antenna (made in
British Columbia, Canada) we now have a good signal where, in the past, the
signal was marginal. An instance comes to mind, Lagoon Cove, were everyone
was going to the top of the hill to make a call, we were getting and
receiving calls in our boat.
This is a small antenna that plugs into the back of the phone. It works
even sitting inside the boat. Has a magnetic base which I put on the top of
a small metal box.
Obviously, once you get around Cape Caution and there is no signal it does
not help. But sure helps if you have a week signal.
No interest in Wilson Antennas. Just thought it might help someone.
