Of course you won't believe me, or anyone else. But the cell phone network
was down for the majority of New Orleans. I know people that went there to
repair it.

In fact some hams also helped repair the tower sites. Mostly getting
antennas back in working shape, and getting batteries and/or generators up
and running.

As for why text gets through easier and better than voice. It's just like
CW Markie, and if you understand that mode it would be easier for you to
comprehend text vs voice on a cell system. But I'll try....It is a matter
of bandwidth. Text uses and requires much less than voice does. Thus it
has a much better chance of getting through. Even with marginal conditions
and basically a cell phone user watching his "s meter" and finding a site to
receive it.

Sounds to me the ones that got through knew a little about signal
propagation to me. Gee....do you think they were hams or had a ham nearby?
Just a thought.

Dan what do you expect to be called other than a bigot when you use
such language?

I am not a child molestor I am bisexual

you are clearly untrustworthy when you believe that the one equates to
the other

makes it hard to rely on anything you say when you spout **** like
that

they are not YOUR conversations

you are posting in a public forum you dolt

and you contnue to spew forth your hate certainly not putting a good
face on the ARS

if you want to have a private conversation find a private medium

if you want to have a public conversation without any presense you
find disqueiting then you need to find or create a moderated one, with
a moderator of YOUR liking

not trying to "run you off" but dem is the facts

New Orleans Phones, Cell Networks Still Down

September 2, 2005
New Orleans remains shut off from the outside world, with virtually no
phone service and repair crews not yet allowed to enter the flooded,
battered city.

The various telephone companies have been unable to estimate when
service might resume, since they have not yet been able to physically
inspect the damage to their equipment.

The landline network has been out in most of the New Orleans area since
the storm hit *and most cell towers failed during the first few hours.*
Emergency generators kept some facilities up but they soon ran out of
fuel or became water-logged
