AT&T coverage in the Red Rock Road area north of Stead and into Rancho Haven/Sierra Ranchos are in nonexistent. We need a tower east of Red Rock Road on a mountain to cover that entire area.

That wasn’t too smart putting that site next to the power lines!

Someone should tell AT&T about this.

The Verizon antennas may be just high enough to see over the freeway. AT&T (bottom antennas) definately has coverage blocked east of the freeway.

I have heard someone say in an earlier post. There has not been good signal coverage because this tower is not tall enough in order to serve customers east of the highway 395 due to the height of the freeway itself, resulting in poor coverage. I think the owner of that tower should erect a much taller tower in order to accommodate the extra providers.

We live on Valmar Place about equidistant between McCarran, Kings Row, and Keystone. No signal at ground level, but some signal from the second floor. Numerous calls to AT&T have had the usual lack of meaningful response. It is hilly here and the nearest towers on the map are blocked. AT&T needs a tower above the intersection of McCarran and Keystone to cover this entire area.

We just found out about the areas that Sprint dropped in Fernley, Nevada east to Utah. Unfortunately, when I couldn’t get hubby on the phone for three days (never happens, he calls daily), I called out the Lyon County Sheriff to help find him. Turns out he was not able to use his phone in the remote wiles of Nevada and had to find a payphone. Thanks a lot Sprint, what a loser way to run a company!

There is a Sprint cell site nearby. Perhaps it is getting overloaded with new iPhone users?

Clearwire is also on that pole. For Verizon, the Galena area is currently served by a tower on a hillside southeast of the 395/Mount Rose Junction. They are in the process of approval to co-locate on the tower behind the Damonte Ranch Wal-Mart.
