So, we should not use cell phones on mountain tops?
No, not necessarily. The problem is that when cell sites are
configured and the antennas aimed, consideration is given to
surrounding terrain and near by cell sites. This leaves the whole
sphere of airborne handsets unaccounted for. Each handset is
assigned a frequency or code, depending on technology, and the
presumption is that that handset will not overlap with another on the
same frequency or code. Throw in a handset 5000' above the terrain
and all bets are off.
