Hehe. I guess humor wasn't on your checklist.

I have an excellent sense of humor.

Yeah, but keeping it stored away in the bottom drawer, wrapped in
tissue paper, isn't the same as showing it off on Usenet.

I've never been one to show off.

On the ground,
your average cell phone will contact between 1 and 4 cells at any given
time. In the air, last I heard, it could be twenty or more
Lastly, digital and analog may be somewhat of a misnomer. Digital and
analog still have to be transmitted.

We're implementing the 3G (UMTS) system for Vodafone. We've
been doing some drive testing for optimisation. On Tuesday evening
I took the drive testing kit up in the air with me and flew about 1500ft
in the Newbury area, up the A34 to the M4 and back over the town.

Interesting. I'd have loved to have put some traces on the network
to see the amount of signalling going on. There was absolute chaos
as far as the UE (mobile) was concerned, adding, deleting and
substituting radio links (soft and hard handover, WCDMA).

This was during voice calls. Next time I'll have to try data calls
(384kbps) and see what happens. Bit touchy now though since
Vodafone have launched their data service to the public.

Yanno, this thread is funnier than the joke that spawned it.
