No updates on that Sikeston site that was being worked on 3 months ago?

Nope. All 3 towers in the area have the new base units and panels. 2 were 3G accepted pretty fast and the other has languished. I've seen a work truck there a few times, but since its a shared tower I'm not sure who they were there for.

Those are always fun to play guess which of the 3 I'm here for.

Springfield, MO - lots of work going on at the tower on Kimbrough (and Elm?) by the new Qdoba.  Truck, plenty of dudes and boxes and such.  Didn't get a chance to stop and ask if they're Sprint but I did see an Ericsson truck there a month ago or so.  I'll try to get pics after work.

 

I am hoping it's Sprint and they're actually doing things because I work near Hammons tower and my data speeds have been CRAZY slow lately.  worse than usual.

 

one other thought - I use Llama on my phone and the last couple days it's been wigging out and connecting to different cells that haven't popped up before, even in areas i've had learned/set for months.  wonder if this could be related to any work going on?

Noticing a purple spot at the O'Fallon Family Sports Park just a little east of I-64 and 159.

 

Looks like the center fielder was playing pretty deep.

 

 

Someone posted that on here while back. I think we all pretty muched assumed it was the St. Jacob site.

 

That was us at the O'Fallon Splash Pad.  (Free Family Fun, everybody!)

 

Yes, the SCID confirmed it was the site southwest of St. Jacob.

Antennas and RRU's goin' up at 370 & 94 (on Little Hills Expressway).  AMF guys on the tower, but no one on the ground to talk to.  Couldn't see into the fence to look for cabinets.

Sprint is on that site! Sprint has had a work permit pulled on it for several months. If you get a chance, grab a picture or two and see if you can see what kind of equipment they've got. It could be the first site to see actual work in SGF!!

Its wierd. i pulled it up on my phone and then  tried the laptop and got the error

I can't bring up Lilg's map either. Hopefully its a temporary issue with the hosting company.

Just found a permit that basically says whatever contractor that installed the Antennas/RRUs at Lemay Ferry and Old Lemay Ferry was unlicensed and AMF has been contracted to redo the whole site.

Wow, just wow...

 

At least it wasn't on with LTE.

    • Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
    • At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!
    • Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.
    • Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
