WeRtechSupport Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 okay so I was able to upload these before I got home lol here's the one from East Pine st, lodi ca: http://bit.ly/12RSlbN and beckman rd, lodi ca: http://bit.ly/11LpCz9 I'm pretty sure the brown one is not the right tower, but I snapped some pics of it just in case since it was pretty darn close to the other tower and appeared to be at the same address. That's as close as I felt comfortable getting to this tower since it was pretty far back on someone's vineyard and I wasn't feeling particularly That still leaves Lower sacramento rd and I think one out in woodbridge.. I might be able to snap those tomorrow, and if either of these are too blurry to tell whats on them for sure I can snap these ones again with a better camera. I'm trying to take my mind off things after work and this is helping out a lot, so I'll be cruising around looking for sites these next few days. If there are any not too out of the way in stockton, I'll snap some of those as well.. I'll have to check the map tonight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are any not too out of the way in stockton, I'll snap some of those as well.. I'll have to check the map tonight East Pine is perfect. Not in progress but not unexpected since I didn't find a permit on it anyhow. The one on beckman is unclear but looks extremely promising on the top rack of 3. Google images of the top rack shows only 2 antennas from oct 2012. Just need some visual verification by either yourself (via samsung RRUs) or an image of the antenna with higher quality lens. On the other hand, I don't know what the hell is going in stockton without building permits reports unless someone actually visits their building inspection division (or whatever they call it). Several county sites to the east of tstockton were approved / issued though but I don't want to pressure you to driving all the way out there. Much thanks! Quick Edit : If the tower on Lower Sacramento Street gets turned on for 4g or 3g, it should cover at least 1/3rd of lodi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontsh00tmesanta Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Delhi is part of the Lower Central Valley so i dont keep track of things there. Better to ask in the lower central valley thread. Turlock has nothing issued yet but shouldn't be too far away as Modesto and surrounding area is humming along quite nicely in terms of permits issued. Work probably already began in Modesto. is modesto the lowest of the upper market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotimz Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 is modesto the lowest of the upper market? Turlock is the lowest. The geographical market border is the southern border of Stanislaus county. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BD786 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Is there anything happening in Elk Grove? My 3G has been acting up for the past week or so but I'm not sure where the towers are in my area, franklin blvd and whitelock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My 3G has been acting up for the past week or so but I'm not sure where the towers are in my area, franklin blvd and whitelock. Possibly. Two towers near laguana blvd near the old apple commercial buildings have permits issued for many months now but I don't think those towers should affect whitelock & franklin. There's a closer cell site on a power line structure in the stonelake area that I think serves the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some more photos of the site at beckman here: http://bit.ly/13PwjmV in regards to the Stockton stuff, I've been in contact with that division for some time now and they don't seem to understand what I was looking for..they kept asking me to be more and more specific and I couldn't figure out how to be more specific than either all building permits that I would sort through, or all permits done to cell towers with FCC IDs provided. How far east? Like I said, I'm trying to take my mid off some things so it might be worth the drive. Besides, this tower hunting is pretty fun Epic!! I'll snap some shots of that one tomorrow evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll snap some shots of that one tomorrow evening. Hmm... It seems that I was mistaken. Sprint antennas appears to be on the very top unless this site is ground mounted rru's which i doubt... hmm... Anyways, for Stockton, specifically ask for Sprint applications for tower modifications or just any cell tower work that they have in the past 4 months. If that's not specific enough than I'll need to actually use the GIS Parcel viewer to confirm the actual addresses of these sites... Another option is to give them the contractor license numbers that I've placed in my permit thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jstates916 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 this is i-80 and sierra college closest shot i could get I've noticed a huge drop in speed at Sierra College this last week... I was getting 2 down over EVDO... And now they upgraded the tower to eHRPD. Getting about .5-1 down now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny12345 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yeah I've noticed to. I don't really understand what that means lol. I've noticed the same exact thing in the area of the fountains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotimz Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 this is i-80 and sierra college closest shot i could get Not sprint. That's ATT. See my Samsung identification thread or your own accepted tower image for examples of Sprint.t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jstates916 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Yeah I've noticed to. I don't really understand what that means lol. I've noticed the same exact thing in the area of the fountains basically it's a software/hardware upgrades to a tower for faster switching from 3G to LTE. With an upgrade from EVDO to eHRPD usually LTE is coming to the area soon. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehrpd is usually an indication of the local MSC being worked on and for seamless handoffs between 3g and 4g. It can appears for months before any sort of upgrades begin like our market which got ehrpd at the end of december / early january. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tilltheend Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Citrus Heights city clerk said that my request may not go through because their building permits are organised by address and she wasn't sure if they could filter by telecommunications or cellphone towers. So I have to wait and see. In other news, just drove by a tower and noticed a guy working on it. Didn't have time to stop and check it out but it's on the little triangle at I-80, Antelope Rd, and Lichen Dr. Wil try to put up a small picture I managed to snap.

You may want to donate a few bucks and become a S4GRU sponsor so you can actually check out my permit map which has exact addresses based off of GIS parcel viewers and the interactive maps that have all cell sites listed. I'll start finding those address in CH tonight I guess. And yes, that cell site is one of Sprints co-located sites. If they're working on what I'm thinking they're working on.. oh boy. If you can, check that cell site out when you have time and figure out which rack they're working on. Could be good news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should really become a sponsor ;d Yeah, passing by on the way back I noticed two of the panels were different and couldn't resist the urge to stop and get a good look. From your Samsung thread, I learned what the NV setups looked like and saw them. Had to take a picture. I hope to be able to take some more with an actual camera sometime tomorrow. I hope to donate sometime soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilotimz Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Just have to look for those Samsung RRU's. It's nearly impossible to mistake those RRU's for anyone else as only Sprint is using those types. Much thanks! When you do, I guarantee you'll love what we have in the sponsor area! Much thanks btw and keep an eye on the sky! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwigley Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Hey guys, I've been lurking on this site for a while. Just joined to share this link from sprint's forums: http://community.sprint.com/baw/message/587235 First 'evidence' of 4G being live in the Sacramento area as far as I know (provided that this is true). Is it possible that this is only wimax 4g? EDIT: The guy says that he was activating an S4 so I guess this would be 4g lte since the galaxy S4 is unable to do wimax.
