The criteria for a drop being "worthy" :) of getting posted are:

• Drop occurs at least 3 times traveling in the same direction (i.e., Eastbound on a given road)
  
• Drops occur over a period of more than a month, e.g., if a drop or difficulty is detected on 05/01/2005 it still needs to drop or evidence the given difficulty on 06/01/2005 in order to be posted.
  
• Drops are moving drops in areas of strong coverage, i.e., these aren't "I can't get coverage when I sit in my living room corner" situations, but areas where there is otherwise good coverage and the phone just for no apparent reason drops. (This isn't just for motorists; we've also had problems on Amtrak and commuter rail services, etc.)
  
• Drops are in areas of otherwise good coverage, e.g., the drops listed are not in regional areas where ATT/Cingular has/have no coverage. Thus, there are no posts saying "My AT&T GSM or Cingular GSM call dropped on I-91 crossing the MA/VT line" since ATT/Cingular doesn't cover there, yet.

The problems occur while crossing over Loch Raven Blvd/MD-542. On the inner loop, drops occur about a mile north of Loch Raven Blvd. This does not seem to be a drop as it is more of a mute issue. While nothing can be heard on the phone, it is possible the mute issue does not affect the outbound voice. Therefore, only the alpha link may affected by this. Last occurred on 06/01/2007. On 10/11/2007, a call placed from I-70 on the inner loop to I-95 held continuously without the above drop.

Queens County - Queens: While traveling west on the Long Island Railroad (LIRR) from Woodside into Penn Station, the main line tracks (ie, not the Port Washington tracks) go under a small tunnel/overpass, which also facilitates the crossing of other rail tracks. While passing through that small enclosure, GSM coverage frequently drops. However, there is no tunnel to pass under while traveling on the eastbound side on the main four tracks and thus calls do not drop there. This is in the vicinity of Sunnyside Yards. Most recent instance occurred on 08/06/2007.

Queens County - Queens: Coverage is very poor on the Long Island Railroad at the Port Washington branch between Murray Hill, Flushing Hill and Shea Stadium.

Dutchess County: Handoff failures occur while traveling either eastbound or westbound on I-84 between the JCT with the Taconic Parkway at Mile Marker 52 and the rest area located at Mile Marker 55. Calls initiated using Cingular and traveling west on I-84 will hold while driving up the hill and heading towards the police barracks and the rest area, but will drop while coming down the hill. The phone will then display Dobson PCS. However, if the call is initiated on Dobson in Poughkeepsie and driving west on I-84, it will hold while passing the rest area and going up the hill, but subsequently drop while going back down the hill.

Most recent instance occurred on 05/04/2009. There's already a drop on the LIE heading eastbound (although this may be on the Nextel droplist). I can write _Sunken Meadown Parkway at the JCT of the Long Island Expressway, calls drop. (Calls generally drop at the interchange, for example, heading southbound on the Sunken Meadow Parkway towards the westbound LIE will result in a call drop approximately half a mile west of the Sunken Meadow Parkway and the LIE)._ ADD THIS TO OR UPDATE THE LIST AS NECESSARY.
