oldranger member Registered: 02/23/07 Posts: 1735 Loc: California (southern)	I was on a project on Santa Rosa Island last year. I took my cell along so I could contact DW. It turned out my cell, which I didn't even think would necessarily be in range of a tower, was more reliable than the sat phone we had, and it turned out to be our main means of communication.
