This will mean both constructive and destructive interference. <BR/><BR/>Effectively, the weak signal if you are far away from both posts will be amplified in one wavelength, but then they will cancel each other out in the next.<BR/><BR/>That's a slightly crude explanation, but may go some way to explaining why it happens, when you are a really long way from the signals. It's noticeable in towns also, when you have a good signal one second, then in one spot it's wildly variable, then back to good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34967887.post-67679452527831962322008-06-17T23:15:00.000+01:002008-06-17T23:15:00.000+01:00Selected responses from a series of emails from O2...Selected responses from a series of emails from O2 over the last few days:<BR/><BR/>Network signals usually fluctuate when you climb up or are at height.

This means I still have use of my otherwise useless device.<BR/><BR/>Why oh why does this not happen in the uK? If my provider cannot give me a service but there is a strong signal from another provider, why can I not use their service? All I am curently left with is a useless device.<BR/><BR/>Seems barmy to me. I asked O2 why this was the case, but they did not reply to me.Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.com
