Took my Accompli 009 out for its weekly test around the city(expecting
to get no results) and I got coverage! On Parham Rd near Regency Sq.
Mall I heard a beep. Looked down and saw VSTREAM on the phone with 6
signal bars. Was able to place a call and send SMS message. Coverage
continued south on Parham rd until it dropped off halfway on the Willie
Bridge. It picked back up on the other side and continued until Forest
Hill Ave exit. I got coverage again on the Southside of Richmond on
Route 360(Hull Street) at the intersection of Warwick Ave. Then I
ventured home...Picked up a signal again at Route 60(midlothian
turnpike) and Chippenham Pkwy right in front of Cloverleaf Mall. It
continued west on route 60 for about another 5 miles and dropped off
just 2 miles from my home.(urggggg..) Been waiting for this day for a
long time. Any idea when I should expect widespread Richmond coverage?
soon I hope!!!! will test more areas tommorrow.

more coverage....picked up a good signal north on Powhite Pkwy at the
Downtown Expressway. It continued on the Expressway to I95 north at
downtown Richmond and on I64
till about MM199 right at the I295 intersection in Sandston.

Sounds like you live in Midlothian. How's coverage to the south,
continuing down the Powhite and 288?

more thursday.
