Weekly status:

Include discussion of what you accomplished this week, who you contacted, what decisions were made, what obstacles were identified, how they are being addressed.

· This week we continued to take data with the com block 3005. Initially, we were unable to connect to the com block anywhere, but in Burchard and in the Computer Center. However, by using a router, we were able to get some interesting data in Jacobus Hall.

· We took very interesting data. Some of it included Verizon to Verizon phone calls, Cingular to Cingular phone calls, and Cingular to Verizon phone calls. We played around with our cell phones to see what affect it would have on our data and the results were quite interesting. We think that we were able to distinguish between who was making the calls and who was receiving them, as well as which data corresponded to which cellular provider. The patterns in the spectrum were different for each provider.

· This upcoming week we hope to take data with com block 3006 for the PCS region of the spectrum.

· This week we also have to begin talking about our brochure, poster, and final design report.
