Coverage questions in various forms have been asked here many times, however, I think mine has a twist to it. I live in SW New Mexico and judging from Verizon's coverage map, my ranch is in one of those small white "holes", as most everything around is solidly red. I have a Tracfone that uses Verizon Network and the phone will get good signal when I am about 6 mile from home. All that is fine and good, until a couple years ago when there was a large wild fire and USDF set up a base camp 1/2 mile from where we live. All of a sudden, everybody that has Verizon was getting excellent cell coverage at home. We later found out that while the fire base camp was running there was a mobile cell tower/amplifier in camp hence the previously "dead zone" just came alive (while the camp was in operation). As it does not seem to take any giant effort to fill in the no coverage "hole" (in this case, just a truck with proper equipment), I wonder if there is anything our neighborhood can do to "nudge" Verizon to fill the area with "red".
