Hello

Can anyone enlighten me as to the extent of thecell coevrage off the
NJ coast between Cape May and Sandy Hook? I.e. how far off the beach
does it extend?

We'll be there this weekend and it would be nice to keep my better
half up to date every once in a while.

Many thanks in advance

Matt



well that depends, as they say

i was a radio operator with the coast guard at station sandy hook for
4 years...1991-95. cell phones are NOT...repeat NOT dpendable for
emergency calls. they're fine for calling back home...but it may very
well cost you your life if you rely on them instead of a VHF radio.
