[CQ-Contest] Hamvention - New Venue, etc.

Verizon Wireless was five bars everywhere in the facility except 
deep inside the metal buildings. Thankfully I didn't drop my 
iPhone in the mud...

I, too, had a T-Mobile iPhone with me and was frustrated because of the 
poor coverage. I wanted to get in touch with some friends visiting the 
Hamvention so that we could meet. I should have had an 2m/440 HT instead of 
the iPhone. We are ham radio operators, not iPhone operators. 

I had a very good time at the Hamvention.

100% agree with Bill's marks. 

One more F to add - T-Mobile coverage was almost nonexistent. There are 
only 2 spots here and there where I got 1 bar of signal and was able to 
send an SMS or had basic EDGE internet. ATT and Verizon worked fine.
