I found this today in Lenexa, KS.   Is it the 3rd Carrier for Band 41?

 

UARFCN 41374

Yep, third carrier. I found the third carrier online here in Springfield, MO this weekend, and it went live in St. Louis sometime last week as well.

 

Channels here are: 39874 / 40072 / 40270

Sprint's B41 holdings in Baton Rouge include BRS1, BRS2, E1-E4, F1-F4, and H1-H3. That gives them a 6 MHz orphan block (2496-2502), a 12 MHz contiguous chunk (2602-2614), and a 55.5 MHz contiguous chunk (2618-2673.5).

 

FCC records show a new, "Special Temporary" license, WQYL886, has been granted for the K block (filed as the "old" F2 block under the pre-transition band plan). This bridges the gap between the 12 MHz and 55.5 MHz chunks for a total of 71.5 MHz contiguous.

 

The first B41 carrier in Baton Rouge moved to new center of 40913 (2622.3 MHz). Based on the previous center spacing of 19.8 MHz, I expect the second and third carriers to now sit at 41111 (2642.1 MHz) and 41309 (2661.9 MHz) respectively, leaving 10 MHz free at the lower end and enough for a guard at the high end.

Band 26?

 

Edit: I think you're posting the text in the middle. Didn't realize what all that said initially.

When are smaller carrier like Appalchian uses B12 does that means less if any B12 for at&t or Tmobile?

B12 is split into 3 6MHz FDD blocks, the A block (728-734/698-704), the B block (734-740/704-710) and the C block (740-746/710-716). If Appalachian is running a 10x10 B12 LTE carrier, that means they must own at least two blocks. The EARFCN, 5120, equates to center frequencies of 740/710 MHz, suggesting that they own the B and C blocks. This means only the A block is left over for either AT&T or T-Mobile, so in short, yes, Appalachian using B12 means less B12 for everyone else.

I think this is the first second band 25 carrier in the ABQ market. Need an android to confirm.

That's a second carrier. UARFCN (should be EARFCN) is one of the only remaining values in Field Test that is consistently accurate.

Spent some quality time watching the Red Sox this weekend, took some sneak peeks at the latest SignalCheck beta and discovered 4 new sectors and EARFCNs I didn't have noted (see below). I'm guessing B41 Mini-Macros are deployed at Fenway with more sectors than usual? Or is it something else?

High capacity site with more than mini macros per 3 sectors. Ie 6 mini macros feeding 3 antennas.

Four carriers support lilotimz. Need to see strongest lat long. Of course photos of tower would be best. Return trip required. ☺

Look at this further today, the GCI sector is not tied to carrier.  Instead they are very much like Triband Antennas where 09, 0A, 0B floats currently between second and third carrier.

    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
