Wildman, don't make me go all Tony Soprano on you, stay out of my territory lol..Good work. The guyed tower was that on 49th st?

[Feech]

And I wish had know you were coming from Tarpon, there is another site that is in Oldsmar that this company has a permit pulled for. I'm wondering if they have done work there.

Great pictures! Love the one of the guy reading the instructions to the other guy that is paying attention to you.

 

Must be their first one

We're a team here, the other "organizations" are those like AT&T and Verizon So, they best watch out for us! Yes, you are correct on the guyed tower. I stopped off to see my wife and told her about catching the guys up in the tower. She pointed in the direction of the guyed tower and said, well, on your way home, you might want to check that one out....

 

When I took the photo of the guys, I stopped at the strip mall just in front of the tower and took the photo. Didn't take long for them to see me taking the photo Had a good time. You guys are going to have to be the ones to light em up on Sensorly when they go hot. I don't get over there that often except for today's exceptionally long ride. I am keeping an eye out everywhere else but it appears the only "real" action I have seen is there.

[Wildman]

Anybody see anything for Brandon or know if any of these towers will reach by kings Rd In brandon

 

Since I live near Brandon I can say I have not, but keeping an eye out. Interesting that someone spotted Ericsson crews a couple weeks ago staying right off Brandon Blvd and I-75, yet I haven't seen anything happening in our area.... that doesn't mean it isn't though. The ground work may be happening and then the others follow behind to finish up maybe...

Can I just say... that this is awesome! Haha! Great picture.

 

I've said this a million times but I still can't wrap my mind around the size of these 800mhz panels!

I saw the permit you mentioned from your original links... gotta save something for another motorcycle ride.... perhaps that is my next target

 

Also, incidentally, I don't know if it is a Sprint tower or not as I didn't look at the map, but on my way south on I-275, I spotted another tower that might have similar panels. I was south of the Gandy and it was on the west side of the street, but no other details as traffic was crazy and after all, I was on the motorcycle

Here are some better pics of the painted tower I think Wildman was at compared to the one I took this morning.

Dude your wife is awesome..My girlfriend looks at me like I'm insane when I grab the camera and head out the door..I actually wanted to start another post about our better halves and this thing we do.

I'll check that one out at some point this weekend then..Was it a monopole, guyed, or self supporting

What happened to that dude, said he worked at a hotel right and that he had talked to them? I hate to say it but I'm suspect of anyone that isn't a sponsor with some posts under their belt

[Feech]

Wildman, I just read your post again. You said two with workers in the air. I know one is near where your wife works, where were they working on another?

[Feech]

It also looks like Pinellas is ground zero for the Tampa market..

[Wildman]

I meant two with workers on the ground, only one with those two gents in the air. Other sites I saw with work were in Seminole, one near 110th if I remember right.

Yes, it was a monopole, if I remember correctly. I remember, as I drove by, that there was not a lot of room at that site and that it was by the roadway and their vehicles and gear filled what little area they had to work with.

[hopeforLTE1]

I'm right hear I haven't heard anything from work at the hotel since them guys left

Haven't seen anything either. Them guys said they were working buy the aquarium

But hell that was a few weeks ago. Who knows my 3g has gotten super good though.

Well if they were working by the Acquarium then they worked on the site with the panels mounted on the outside of the Forum that I stumbled across one day. They are newer panels, but no 4G there.... yet.

[Feech]

That's funny I have been driving by that site the last two weeks waiting for something.. The day I didn't is the day I found them at your wifes job lol

[SpenceSouth]

Looking forward to driving around soon and seeing if I can find anything.

[hopeforLTE1]

[Feech]

If I were gonna be honest then no I haven't seen any change in the network
