Hello Bill and all-
If you look carefully at the "Coverage Locator" there's no
coverage east of Lakeview or south of Burns.
In other words, this map, and the "normal" local coverage
map of the area contradict each other. The local covearge map
clearly showing a large island of coverage in far-most SE Oregon
where none has existed previously.
Note that this coverage now shown on the local map was
added less than 2 years ago, and I haven't been in the area
to be able to know which map is accurate.
-Dan
PS: My gut instinct is that the coverage locator is correct
and the local map is showing coverage in error, however,
if you were to add a few towers to some high peaks (Steens)
in the area... Who knows.
