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.

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!

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. Clearwire is also on that pole.

I have a phone from AT&T and it reported 4 bars from inside the RSCC. But, when I tried to call a friend in the convention center, I couldn't reach him. He later got a message and called me. But I didn't get his call. Later, I got his voice mail. I had no problem with AT&T in the Peppermill, but the odd service in the convention center was frustrating. It's not like my phone was dead...it was more in limbo. Had a weird experience over the weekend at the Reno Sparks Convention Center.

Going back to Sprint next week. I just switched to Verizon (from Sprint) and can’t believe how poor the coverage is in comparison. Going back to Sprint next week.

It gets better as you approach Thomas Creek Road. About 1/2 way up the mountain the signal comes and goes, very poor coverage. The old AT&T PCS use to work flawlessly 2/3 way up the mountain around the year of 2002. There is a dead zone at the bottom of 431 East of the Lodge at Galina and Galina Forest turn off Douglas Fir.
