Dave Granted this is real! I guess it would work beautifully for those open US highways. I was driving around the country side today and imagining how my G* Phone would be helping me stay in touch. GSM dropped many times, always in Gorges behind cliffs etc. Sometimes for several minutes. But I am not sure that I would have been able to conduct a conversation on G* in those locations either. It wasn't that the roof mounted aerial wouldn't have seen the sky. It's just that it's view of the sky was changing so quickly that I would have had to stop in a suitable stop to make my call. In that case I would have just driven on into the next GSM cell. Dave, this is obviously different in your country and that's good for all of us. Oliver
