That used to be true, but has fast fallen away out here in Cali.
Motorcycle racetracks are out in the boondocks, and are often the last
places to get good cell coverage.  About a two years ago GSM phones started
having better coverage than CDMA even at those locations, at which point I
gave up and went GSM ;-)
