Just talking to Willem who is at Balgo -about 300km south of
Halls Creek.
Maybe, just maybe, Telstra are getting their act together..
BTW Willem and party are on the way back, expecting to be at
Alice by the weekend and by all accounts have had one hell of a good time.
Cheers
Michael

Hi Michael J,
Last Nov I was talking to a couple of Telstra contractors in
Broken hill who were replacing the solar units on all the Telstra towers in the area out there and I asked them what was the story re Next G verses CDMA. They said that both CDMA and Next G were using the same antennae and because of that they had to balance the signal from both to 4 each watts up the stick.
The problem was that they could not increase the power of Next G till they were able to turn off CDMA. To do so would have meant blowing the outputs on the CDMA transmitters.
They have now turned off CDMA and upped the power for Next G and that is why it is working much better - according to them.
Regards,
Bruce
