    Correct there is currently a 10 or 15 MHz WiMax carrier deployed there.
  2. Mr.Nuke
    And AJ corrected be there is enough spectrum in EBS G1-G3 for a 15 MHz channel in the Quad Cities with adequate guarding.
  3. Mr.Nuke
    You are one of the markets with enough spectrum for a PCS second carrier though. If Sprint does anything else in the Quad Cities that may be the better solution.

    After a lot of time with the dashboard and uls searches of licenses last night Sprint has the EBS G1-G4 block in sublease from a John Schwartz entity (who is leasing it from someone else of course). It looks like Schwartz snapped up a lot of EBS and leases it to Sprint/Clearwire. http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/leaseMain.jsp?parentKey=2590283&licKey=3132022 http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/leaseAdmin.jsp?licKey=3132022&parentKey=2590283# With the EBS A4-G4 blocks not being contiguous with their counterparts, and with band guarding as well; the best Sprint can likely do in the Quad Cities is a 10 MHz carrier in EBS G1-G3. chris92, posted a screenshot in the premier thread a couple of weeks ago of one of wimax protection sites and the carrier was right where you'd expect it to be with this information http://s4gru.com/index.php?/topic/5375-nebraskaiowa-premier-thread/?p=424646

    That is where it gets interesting though because some of those protection sites are strategically placed. Off of the top of my head I remember from researching that Oelwein has 20 MHz of contiguous BRS. EDIT: Waterloo has 20 MHz of contiguous BRS as well.
  6. Mr.Nuke
    And that is why the dashboard is only showing 6 MHz for Sprint/Clearwire in Scott County. And that is why we all hate tracking BRS/EBS . This has to be one of the messiest markets for it.
  7. Mr.Nuke
    Yeah I'm probably wrong on this, but I cannot believe dashboard would blow it that bad here. East Iowa had historically been omitted from a lot of the clearwire holding maps as well. http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1671834-Current-4G-Spectrum-Holding-Map-s
  8. Mr.Nuke
    The individual SpeedConnect license that the dashboard shows for say Scott County Iowa (Davenport) do show up in a ULS callsign search. They aren't BTA licenses which may have an impact here. Dashboard could very well be wrong, but here is an example. http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?licKey=2589394
  9. Mr.Nuke
    See the edited post that I added to while you were typing. We'll get this figured out. I still don't think your 4 links tell us what Sprint actually has. It is like they're simply showing the BRS spectrum range. If you start from here http://reboot.fcc.gov/spectrumdashboard/systemInfo.seam?conversationId=934 and browse using the map for Iowa---> Scott County---> BRS see what you get.
  10. Mr.Nuke
    Try searching it on the dashboard and see what you get. For example your first link is for WQLW474. Using the dashboard to search Scott County Iowa and BRS pulls up WQLW474, but it shows they only 6 MHz in Scott County on that license. It is like your links are showing the entire BRS spectrum and not what Sprint actually has. SpeedConnect literally has most of the BRS on the dashboard.

    Claure is in Tokyo https://twitter.com/marceloclaure/status/615671525455192064
  12. Mr.Nuke
    This is a known Central Iowa site that we have data on.
  13. Mr.Nuke
    And unless you moved recently I don't think it will be an issue. Check the East Iowa thread for recent discussions on why.
  14. Mr.Nuke
    We'll see what happens. Long-term I don't think it matters much. Short-term Legere will blow a wad if it happens. Here is what you read, a Fierce Article citing a Wells Fargo analytical note. http://www.fiercewireless.com/story/analysts-sprint-showing-positive-momentum-postpaid-subscriber-additions-q2/2015-06-25
  15. Mr.Nuke
    Probably to an extent. John got slapped down hard by the FCC today. As we've been discussing at great length the past few months here the growth at T-Mobile is ultimately going to come to a head with their limited spectrum options; hence their impassioned plea to the FCC (they really really need 600 Mhz spectrum) that got soundly rebuffed today in part due to the PR marketing over the top BS. Compound that with the fact that by most accounts DT still would like to offload them for the right price and the future isn't exactly bright for magenta.

    This isn't for you to decide. -A member of the "evil" volunteer staff of this site.
  17. Mr.Nuke
    When is VZ4U launching for him?
  18. Mr.Nuke
  19. Mr.Nuke
    Yeah everything on this site, the SCP bsl address, the SID point to it being just outside of Kansas City. Trip's atmospheric theory is gaining some hold right now.
  20. Mr.Nuke
    Nope the SID/NID are going to be the same for a given area. The BID is the site specific identifier. This is a new one from what you had previously posted.
  21. Mr.Nuke
    You and I have both picked up 1x800 from further away than that tower though. Right now a 1x800 to the Missouri site would be my best guess.
  22. Mr.Nuke
    network.sprint.com isn't a complete list of sprint sites*. We have what we believe to be an accurate list at our sponsorship level here. We should be able to tell what is happening with the SCP shot. * In this case it doesn't matter as there isn't a native sprint site nearby.
  23. Mr.Nuke
    Yeah like Lilotimz said, carrier aggregation is only for the downlink.
  24. Mr.Nuke
    You've already been corrected on how erroneous you were with this statement, and for good measure. But for Pete's sake, take two minutes to research before posting. You would've found out how wrong you were with a simple fcc dashboard search or a search of this site.
  25. Mr.Nuke
    No.
