Phone signal in tent

August 25, 2026 — BarryK

Ha ha, this is funny. I have been camping here for two weeks, at a campground on the south coast of Western Australia, and had to walk about 5 minutes to the beach to get a phone signal.

Wasn't getting a signal in my tent; however, today discovered if raise my phone, and get it into just the right spot, there is a weak 4G signal:

It is weak, some websites timeout, but can do basic browsing with phone a wifi hotspot; gmail and forum access ok. The signal may be dependent on the weather, we shall see.
