Network Vision/LTE - Missouri Market (includes St. Louis)

[DaQue]

Shit. I thought the buchiet site was cottleville 2 since it was the second site to get equipment. I think I fished up. I was in st peters by the college heading to a buddies house.

Its the 2nd one we noticed. I bet it had equipment first and no one noticed. I started calling one off 94 as Cottleville 2 because it wasn't the first live one.

This is what I have in the logs:

 

It's the MiFi 500, if anyone wants to help me find where I get the band info. I'll be driving around today looking for LTE, so I'm on mobile...

Look at this post, it may help:http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/4083-sprint-td-lte-25002600mhz-discussion/?p=180533

Ok, still confused which one was he across the street from?

[lilg740]

Did anyone ever confirm Natural Bridge and Hanley? Preferably by HEX SCID.

[lilg740]

We seem to get more 3 digit styles.. Or the real name PCI. Physical cell identity the other ones are Global Cell Identities.

 

A lot of our donuts got fixed today all at one time along with others in a few other markets. I hope the same was done in your market but I didn't notify them of that market since none were reported. And that's more than I need to say publicly about it.

We tend to value HEX higher than 3-digit.

Why? They do the same thing.

[lilg740]

Yes, but if someone says, "Hey I just got this SCID" I'd rather have 05609101 vs. 155 because 05609101 will tell me what site it was and 155 will only tell me that its not a site that we already know about. HEX. in and of itself, can confirm a site. 3-digit cannot.

No Bucheit was done before they started on 94 and Motherhead. I was the one that got pictures of Bucheit before it started broadcasting LTE while they were down the street working on 94 and Motherhead.

 

94 and Motherhead still isn't broadcasting LTE. I was by there 5 hours ago.

What I meant to say is something along the lines I bet work started on Bucheit before 94/Motherhead  because it fired up first. I noticed 94/Motherhead slightly before you got the Bucheit pictures I think.  I started calling 94/Motherhead Cottleville 2 because it wasn't the first on the air with LTE. Hell I might end up calling it Cottleville 3 if they don't get the damn thing on the air before they build a new one.

 

I know I know its not really taking forever but it feels like forever.

That ruins all the fun of the hunt.  I guess I'm weird and love to go ooohh... new serving cell, then I go find it.  The LTE hunters in our area usually post screen shots of the -60 to -70 signal, Sensorly the site, and tell me exactly which one it is.  I can understand though if you have someone posting random stuff they see driving around and they being lazy and don't want to hunt the site down.

Last night I was at the buchiet site. I was confused by the 2 sites. I was too excited since this site is pretty close to the house.

If you took that right at the Bucheit site its Bucheit. That site is stronger than a horse terd on the ground in a Wyoming winter.

Especially for an EVO!

There's this thing called gas....its kind of expensive

If we were worried about that I believe none if us would have spreadsheets and/or Sensorly installed on our phones and taking entire day trips in the name of wireless nerds. Plus most of your sites are on top of each other so it makes it easy.

This sightly crosses into Kansas territory, but I drove up highway 13 from SGF to KC today. No LTE on the north side of SGF, and no LTE on highway 7 with the three new LTE sites from Clinton to Harrisonville. Even though Sprint coverage maps now show LTE there.

Not all of us are made of money.....And if I was in St. Louis ya, I could probably ride my bike around but the spacing on the east side is not as good as STL.

Ain't that the truth. If I was I would have a VZW and AT&T handset for the best of both worlds.

I see that.  GNex?

Looks like real signal. And a GNex has to at least get a signal in the first place.... ... ?
