S4GRU Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 As a personal anecdote, I grew up in a small town south of Kansas City. I had a friend who talked about going "down" to Kansas City. It bothered me. AJ It's one of my pet peeves. I will let it go if someone says they are going down somewhere if they are going down in elevation or at least heading south. South is not down, but I can at least see the 'funky logic' in that thinking. Because at least south is down on most maps. And the opposite being true of up and north and up being used for increasing in elevation. It certainly is true to say you go up to Los Alamos from Pojoaque, since there is nearly a 2,000 elevation gain. But I cannot resist to give people my two cents when they grossly misuse the terms up and down as a heading to a destination. It's one of my idiosyncrasies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khammondnm Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Wait, did you go "down" to Santa Fe from Albuquerque? Or are you in Los Alamos now? I surely hope the latter, not the former. Otherwise, you took the wrong way around the entire planet -- and somehow still gained elevation. As a personal anecdote, I grew up in a small town south of Kansas City. I had a friend who talked about going "down" to Kansas City. It bothered me. AJ Went down from Los Alamos. It's definitely a pet peeve of mine too.

It could be the site that Robert said was lte accepted because my signal was very weak and the site he mentioned was across town from where I was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S4GRU Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 That would be amazing if B26 from I-25/St. Francis is making it all the way to the rail yards. Especially since that site is mounted low on a power line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khammondnm Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I just picked up B26 at my office in Los Alamos! I can neither confirm nor deny my office location based on the purple dot in Los Alamos on Sensorly Edit: Proof 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techcj_manzer Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Band 26! I'm at the corner of Tramway and I-40. I've always gotten 2 bars of B25 with speeds of about 2 Mbps, so an improvement!

khammondnm Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Thank you, forgot this was the incorrect thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No worries. I think general information like "look what I found" is fine out here, but if we want to discuss specific towers/status what not it should probably be on the other thread. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you getting whiffs of band 25.I didn't connect to B25 today, but I have a suspicion that they turned lte on this afternoon because I was in town and had dropping voice signal all lunch. I'm actually at TA-46. Yeah it's kind of a bummer they shut it down after 9/11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best part of the hill. I am heading up next week to ski and stay at the parents so I will check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSC405 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Come on Sprint and light up Alamogordo please!! Back haul is in place. Do not let that Ercisson Tech be right ( he said he does not believe LTE wil be turned on until late this year or early next year, and B41 will be late 2016). The information says different.

When I talked to the network team last week, the guy told me that our market would be fully completed by December.
