Re degraded coverage--Coverage will be poorer on the northern edges due to-- 1. Path diversity is lost. In New Jersey at any one time, we have 3 or 4 sats overhead, in various directions, that the phone can "see". On the northern edges, all the sats will be in generally the same direction (southeast to southwest), and fewer will be in sight. 2. Signal strength. As you go further north, the sats are further away, and because the sats are lower in the sky, the signal must travel through more atmosphere. The signal from the sats will be weaker, and the strength of signal from the phone will need to be stronger (no weak batteries allowed). Are you in Fairbanks? Best, John
