To get decent cell service I have to walk across the road to get on the other side of the power lines. Then face the SE and slowly turn till I get the most bars. Turn 90° either way and I lose the signal. About 6–8-mile circle around here that unless you're on top of a hill cell service is unreliable. Has something to do with the magnetic ground in the earth. Ran into this 45-50 years ago with 2 way radio use in another part of the state.
