Hi Mike Outmesgunie
First, this is a brillinat for the DIY person to take on a progect. Second, sorry I just reciently read this four years later..lol I live on a island in Georgian Bay, the community of Christian Island ontario, 3G and Edge comes and goes, and in between the could be periods dead zones, I know that the towers across the bay at Cedar Point and in Collingwood Ontario have just been updated by Rogers, but this problen still exists.
My question is could your diagraham show how to include the Iphones and blackberries plus others and is it feasible to attempt with a low cost buget.
sincerly
Mike Cass
