Jacksonville is now showing as an official Spark market!   (Not that anyone needed to tell you that Band 41 was around )

Just tried out T-Mobile for laughs (Test Drive, which is a kind of cool attraction.)  Anyways, I've come to the conclusion that Sprint is better here, coverage-wise.  I'd rather have a reliable method

I'm safe. Sprint holding up well. 4.5 million without power. The eye of the storm coming straight for Marion county with 100mph winds. I hope I have a home to go to when this is over.

On Brannan Field Road across from Oak Leaf High School.

Oakleaf definitely needs some B41. I was at the Chili's in Oakleaf just the other day and B25 & B26 could barely load a webpage.

Hopefully this is the start of a full Band 41 rollout. The St John's Town Center and the River City Marketplace near the airport needs Band 41 and small cells.

There is definitely work going on in the area. My home Tower just got its Clearwire equipment replaced with Sprint 8t8r antennas.

I thought they where doing mini macros for clear towers?

What's the difference between macro and mini macro?

Mini macros are an all in one BTS/RRU unit that has the power of a macro in the size of a small cell. They support a max of 2 B41 carriers and 2xCA.

Not sure. I can't see the tower from my house. At this particular site the Clearwire rack was on a tower about 100 yards from the B25 & B26 equipment rack. So I'm not sure if they consolidated or what.

Looks like a spotted another possible 8t8r. It's on the tower that's on the Edward waters college property

damn thats great. I wish Ocala got some love. No permits at all last year and this year none so far. At&t and Verizon had alot of permits though.

Hopefully they will add more band 41 down there. Seems like Sprint is targeting the high traffic sites. I wish Sprint would just blanket the city with Band 41 similar to how TMobile does with Band 4.

We have 2 sites thats are high capacity sites with 6 antennas instead of 3 and they are sub 1 mbps on every sector. Hard to believe but its true. We have 7 sites that are always sub 1 mbps on b25/26

I thought that those 6 panels site. The extra panel was for extra voice capacity. I always thought that was weird. I could be thinking of the wrong thing.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      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.
