I can see the tower but am not near it . Cell phone does not work up butte inlet , narrows inlet , nor does it work in the bush to the east of Squamish , Go due north from salmon inlet and the cell phone does not work from the top of any of the mountains . Big area , no reception , but there used to be . Six miles from Sechelt and reception is done until I am at 5400 ft , even then I will have to move around and try 4 or 5 calls before a call can get out . We tested a bunch of different phones from the top of the mountain , 7 connections from 25 calls , 3 of the connections got dropped . At one time I was far enough back that all I could see was Van island , dialed home but got connected to some guy on the island - he phoned home for me . Digital range is less than with the old analog - that is one of the reasons there are more towers . Get lost on the front of Seymour and your phone will work , now go get lost behind Mystery peak and see how well the phone works . It is no longer a line of site issue , distance now plays a big factor too . What got me back climbing was the old cell phone - My wife stopped worrying because I could get hold of her and tell her when we were turning around and when to expect a call that we were back safe . She bought the thing and forced it on me . It was a small price to pay to be climbing again . Those calls out do not happen much anymore because of the reception . Hopefully I can get a better phone , a couple of guys have enhanced phones but I think they put out a lot more radiation and burn through the power PDQ .

Does anyone have $50M looking for a home? What do you think the chances are that Globex can raise this money and allow it to spin out their world class TTM project (but first things first - does anyone care?!). In this environment a world class gold project wouldn't generate very much excitement, how does high grade talc and magnesite grab you, LOL! Won't kid you this won't be easy but if good things happen to good people from time to time, then Stochs deserves it in spades. I don't think I've ever come across anyone that has so much on his plate and works as hard as him, and as a bonus I believe he has the sincerity that is all too rare in the jr mining industry. (dara, kind of the anti-Washer!). While they have literally just begun the search for funding, in the worse case if they don't get it, I am NOT concerned about the stock price, with under 25 million shares out, FD.. IMHO, TTM and a bunch of their other advanced projects have zilch, nada valuation in their stock price. The stock price remains in the exact same price range $1.20 to $1.30 that it was when I first wrote about it, in the first week of March. Not too many companies in our volatile little sector can boast that. stockhouse.com theglobeandmail.com
