lilg740 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Ok, so I was heading south on New Halls Ferry coming back down from the Lindbergh site behind Aldi. Completely forgot that I would be driving right by the New Halls Ferry & Parker site, until I saw a guy up the tower. Pulled over and snapped some pics. Two antenna/RRU sets on a trailer. One up on the tower being worked on. The worker on the ground was clueless. I asked if they were doing work for Sprint, and he replied "I have no idea." Detective McSmogg would not be much help. Working on the Fourth....thats dedication! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doomstang Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Dark purple on sensorly map on 44 at 141. There is either a new site or someone was mapping with a gnex. As of yesterday, I could only connect to the Balwin site for a few moments from there before the signal dropped out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a GNex or someone was at a higher elevation....you know the only way to confirm/deny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilg740 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Has anyone tried to check out the site by Ferguson PD? That one and the Manchester/Lindbergh site still have no confirmation or sensorly. Edit: And also the site by Bircher and 70. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4soundman Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 If you are ever back by there please try to get a screenshot of your iPhone Field Test Mode. I drive past that everyday on my way home, I'll check it again today. I haven't seen it live yet. There are sensorly blips in that area that appear to be from the Wells/Goodfellow site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decoy Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 OK, so finally here are the pics of the crews I saw working in O'Fallon on the 4th. This site is on Simmons Rd, north of the O'Fallon splash pad, where we were headed with the family when I spotted this. Took the pics on the way back home.

Jussta Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 So the people who were working on the tower in Des Peres - Flushing Meadows after 4g for sprint was live replaced some antennas I believe. The 2nd rack from the top, far left. Each side has one of these. I don't know if its related to Sprint or not. The Sprint 4g antennas and RRUs are on the rack below it in the middle. Just passing along what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the north of the tower, as it switches to a different sector, speeds jump up substantially and are usually 12-25mbps down. I wonder if they've had problems with the equipment on one sector.

DaQue Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 I noticed something similar with the accepted Cottleville site. One sector was 4-6 times faster on dload speed. I guess it could just be how may users are connected to the individual sector. Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boscoe Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 GREAT NEWS FOR MISSOURI CELL PHONE USERS! New Mo. law aids cell phone tower expansion By The Associated Press Friday, July 5, 2013 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — Local governments will have less ability to restrict cellphone towers under legislation signed by Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon. The bill signed Friday by Nixon includes a list of 18 things that cities, counties and state entities can no longer require or prohibit when regulating cellphone towers. For example, they cannot evaluate applications for cellphone towers based on whether there were other possible locations, nor whether a company could have added its equipment to an existing tower used by a competitor. They also cannot require companies to remove existing wireless facilities as a condition of building new ones. The Missouri Municipal League had asked Nixon to veto the bill. But Nixon said it would help expand access to broadband Internet and wireless phone service. —— Cell phone tower bills are HB331 and HB345. http://www.newstribune.com/news/2013/jul/05/new-mo-law-aids-cellphone-tower-expansion/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no sites in S. Roxana. The closest sites are in Hartford and Roxana. There is one on refinery property I have only checked out this site once as it is out of my way. The Hartford one I have checked a few times and no work has been done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
