maybe as soon as July we will have sell phone service in Mulege. as we are usually the last to get such things we have been waiting for this for a
long time.
I have been talking to the engineers and they are not yet sure as to where the coverage will be from the one new tower they have nearly completed on
the north side of the river east of Mulege. they may put another at the microwave tower at Point Tiburon. which would carry a strong signal to most of
the Beaches.
I will pass along info as I get it from the company as we will be selling the contracts and equipment here for Telcel.
That's good news, Bruce

You told me last Feb when I stopped by to chat, that you had heard that TelCel was in the process of installing a Cell-phone tower in the Mulege area.
It sure would be great if TelCel also installed cell antennas on one of the Tiburon Microwave towers and direct them to the south, toward the beaches
of Bahia Concepci?n.
TelCel 'beams' sell phone signals from south of Santa Rosalia toward the beach area of San Lucas. We checked while driving in that area, and the
signals are strong as you pass though there, then disappear till just south of SR near the Highway Patrol office.
It's nice to come to Baja and get away from the phones...However it's also good to have a TelCel (or other) phone for emergencies, and to keep in
touch back home as needed.
Here's a picture of me trying to improve my tan while standing near a microwave dish up at the 'Tiburon' site. They ran power lines up there a few
years ago - prior to that there was a diesel generator humming along to keep things going.
