Will  anyone who is planning to be on the mountain have a cell phone with 
them that  works well on the mountain?  I have no weak signal station at home or 
in  my vehicle, an woould like to be able to call ahead to find out if anyone  
needs anything before visiting (assuming I get back to the mountains in  
time).

For those who have not yet been to the  mountain, Verizon and Cingular seem 
to have the best service coverage in the  area.  My Verizon phone works well at 
Mile High.

Note to Verizon users:  on arrival in the area, updating your  Preferred 
Raoming List (PRL) may improve the service you obtain in the  area.  To update 
your PRL, dial *228 and select option 2.

Thanks for the info Paul.  I'll have my Verizon cellphone with me-  it's 
706-499-4518.  I'll be up there sometime late Friday (more precise  time shortly) 
and plan to stay 'til teardown is over on Monday.

P.S.  I switched to Verizon because Cingular's coverage is so poor in  my area
