Re: Re[2]: [Philmont]: Nextel cell Phones

The person asking this time is asking about reception at PTC. That is far
different from the folks going thru CHQ headed for the trail.

For certain if one *has* to have a phone at PTC, it should be put on a
silent mode and used ONLY during break times from class, and not an
interruption to learning by anyone, the cell phone user included.
