Sorry to be unclear. We are on the same radial path to the transmitter.
I know nothing about the propagation characteristics of mobile phone
masts but assume it is zoned.

Most are divided into 120 degree sectors that work vaguely
independantly but probably synchonised so one sector isn't trying to
hear a mobile ten miles away when another is trying to shout a one of
it's mobiles. B-)
