YORK COUNTY -- A new cell tower planned in southern York County could bring relief for wireless customers fed up with missed calls and shaky reception.
Cell service has been lousy for years in the rural areas south of Rock Hill. The 200-foot tower proposed by Comporium Communications would boost coverage from an unlikely spot - a corner of the driving range at the Rock Hill Country Club.
