Discussion on what constitutes a beltway, loop, or otherwise

What do you expect with so many maps. :P

 

Oh, it is not the geography. Robert knows that I am a geography guy (and he is one of the few people I have ever known who could school me in geography). It is the constant bickering in these threads that is comical, like a Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy elderly couple sparring at Luby's.

 

:P

School you? I think not. But I like to think I may be able to keep up!

I have this recurring dream. You and I are both contestants on Jeopardy!, and the categories are: AIRPORT CODES, FRIED CHICKEN, STATE GOVERNMENT, CONSTRUCTION, NEW MEXICO, and FAMOUS ROBERTS. I am doomed.

Speaking of airport codes, I keep one for smokers :P As you can tell I love lists.

 

That's a pretty comprehensive list. I'm impressed, and slightly scared.

I'm scared of what other kinds of lists he has... "Number of posts off topic" "Number of obscure movie references" "number of angry moments" are the three that concern me the most, also "usage of three periods to denote trailing off..."

Ah, airport codes. People look at me weird when I tell them I'll be in DFW next Wednesday. What?!? That airport's IATA code atually maps to the airport name and the general area name. Versus, say, MCO. Or IAH for that matter.

At least you didn't say the airport code for Fukuoka, Kyushu, Japan out loud!

INTERESTING AIRPORT CODE FACTS: MCO is named for McCoy Air Force Base. Which is what Orlando International Airport used to be. My Dad was stationed there in 1962. Orlando Executive Airport holds the ORL airport code, but it does not serve commercial traffic anymore.

 

The Airport code for Fresno Yosemite International Airport is FAT. It was originally issued to Fresno Air Terminal. However, the City has been trying to change it to FYI, and the FAA keeps turning down the request. :lol:

I knew about Fresno being originally named Fresno Air Terminal. They still use that name in some areas of Fresno. :lol:

    • I was just in Greenwich, CT doing some shopping and naturally also doing some recording of cell sites in the background on Cellmapper. Specifically I was along Greenwich Ave which is the most dense part of the city. Verizon: Literally didn't work most of the time. Even though their coverage shows the entire city blanketed in 5GUW you'll only be on their nationwide 5G network or LTE if you're anywhere south of Lewis St. Regular 5G (non C-band) didn't work at all. I don't mean it was slow, I mean it didn't pass any data at all. When I opened Instagram it told me "No connection". In a store I was in I even overheard someone asking another shopper if they had service in the store. I immediately knew they were on Verizon. Switching to LTE gave me data although it was slow. In most stores I'd get speeds in the low teens, outside it'd go up to 40Mbps. Above Lewis St. my phone finally connected to n77. On n77 I was seeing ~180Mbps. It seems like the issue isn't backhaul, it's just that Verizon doesn't have any remaining capacity on the LTE side.   AT&T: AT&T was slow but didn't suffer from the same "No data connection" issue that Verizon did. Speeds were in the low teens most of the time and peaked around 50Mbps. My phone hopped between AT&T's nationwide 5G and LTE frequently much like Verizon. Also just like Verizon, north of Lewis St. I suddenly connected to 5G+ which gave me speeds just over 100Mbps. AT&T also at least one small cell along Greenwich Ave for additional capacity and coverage and it's doing wonders for their network in the area. I'd go as far as saying it's probably the only reason they're not in the same situation as Verizon.   T-Mobile: Not to sound like an ad for the company but I was really blown away by T-Mobile's performance here. T-Mobile is collocated on the same towers as Verizon and AT&T in the region but they have an extra site in the steeple a church along Greenwich Ave that they've upgraded with n41. As a result, T-Mobile not only has the strongest signal indoors and outdoors, they also have the fastest speeds by a long shot. Nowhere along the commercial strip did I drop below 500Mbps. Indoors I was seeing over 300Mbps and outdoors I peaked at over 600Mbps. For the sake of testing I switched my phone to LTE and saw speeds of 180Mbps indoors.  
    • This site, along with T-Mobile eNB 307360, don't have B41 live, but do have n41 live. Seems like the latest T-Mobile convert sites don't broadcast B41 at all.
