Dear Bradley,

Here is the response that I got back from one of our engineers. Hope this information helps.

Thanks,
Alltel Tech Support

We're hoping to have Digital Overlayed on the Pocahontas, Black Rock, Swifton, Newport, Salado, Batesville, Batesville II, and Cave City sites in late Jan.-early Feb. timeframe. I'm not sure the network would be worse, except for maybe worse channel blocking, that causes many issues, AND the recent ice storms, which have played havoc on many of those sites.

I don't know that this will be helpful to anyone, but it is definately information that I have been wanting to know. I wish that I had emailed them along time ago with that question.

If anyone else asks a similar question and gets a reply about a different area then please post it.
