[QUOTE="Nightjar, post: 611507, member: 1414"] Can anyone explain this? Have a 5 metre pole antenna set up at our camp that has a fitting for the patch lead to take the old Telstra F165. During a recent visit I coiled the end of the lead to act as a cradle on the shelf to hold my Samsung S5 in upright position. (Have on occasions previously received text messages with phone elevated and in vertical position) Was amazed when a text message came through and later was able to make and receive phonecalls? Is it just freak reception or could the coils wrapped around the phone be improving reception in a remote area? [/QUOTE]
