I circle that whole area several times a day making deliveries. I usually take breaks at the QT on the West side of 170 on St. Charles Rock Road. The signal fades from weak to strong to at times no signal at all. I've posted the speeds in this thread to show how erratic it is.

 

Since the Vinita Park tower started broadcasting, it has stayed the same UNLESS you get closer to the tower.

 

I think the problem is the tower is too short.

Next time you are at the qt on the rock rd can you get a screen shot of the lte engineering screen?

So yes it is broadcasting LTE but the signal strength is terrible unless you are really close to the tower.

So I'm not sure how far you are from the tower when you get the bad signal but about 25 minutes ago I was on 170 & Page and connected on Serving Cell 401 and got a DL of 12MB. Then it handed off to the Hanley and Natural Bridge site on Serving Cell 378. So not sure why your phone is getting a bad connection from that tower.

I don't think the Vinita Park tower is lite up. I drove near it and was getting nothing.

I was on it and got the 3 digit SCIDs and got the HEX the other night. I toggled airplane mode to verify I was hitting that tower.

I-64 and Mason

The SCID that is on the spreadsheet is not correct. 

SCID I got at that location was 0561E403

3 Digit SCIDS - 83, 252, 421

I will upload the pictures when I get home from work. Did a little mapping also.

That's not the worst. There's more to come.

 

Anyone wanna go get the Natural Bridge and Kingshighway or Tandy Park 3 digits right now?

I would. I would just be cautious as I'm out there. 

Thanks! Hopefully you were packing at that time of night.

Hell yea. Glock 9mm

367 & Chambers

I also did some mapping with Sensorly.

When the market launches the first thing I am going to do is call and complain about our Red Sticks. 

What does it mean when you say "Red Sticks"?

Looks like Vinita Park is live. I went directly under the tower and pulled 8.5mb down and about 6mb up. Please don't be mad I didn't have the HTC EVO on me so I didn't get the HEX SCID to confirm but I did get the 3 digit style SCIDs. I also mapped with Sensorly. I will go back to get the HEX SCID.

This last shot was from Page and 170 off of that tower

Happy Dance!!!!

That is the Page and Skinker site lighting that up. I verified the SCID on the spreadsheet and the band. Parked right under the Pennsylvania site and was still pulling the Page site.

I was judging that by the new dark purple there. I was thinking it might be the one near Pennsylvania and  the Rock Road.

I'll run by and check it out.

I think we have another site live near Lucas and Hunt and Rock Road.

According to the map and spreadsheet I don't see a tower there. Is it possible to be a tower there and not be documented?

So I'm looking at the spreadsheet and I'm curious what it means when it says DAS in the "Type" section.

Somebody just got Sponsor'd. woooohooo. I'm ready to learn more.

Looks like there is tower lighting up near I-70 and Lake STL exit.

Sensorly is showing dark purple on 370 by the Little Hills Expressway site in St. Charles. Is there anyone that is able to confirm it is working?

It is working. I drove through there today. Pulled like 13mb down and 6.5mb up. 

!

44 matches what I call Cottleville one.

That is pretty impressive. But what I don't get is if that tower is reaching that far why wouldn't I get LTE in between there and the tower.

No thats fringe

So I went out there prior to you responding to check it out and I definitely was able to get a LTE signal. I didn't get to go far in there because there was a private road sign and I had my daughter so I didn't go back any further. I didn't have the EVO with me so I couldn't get the SCID that you guys want but I did get the one from my S3. 

Will go back in the day time to get the SCID with the EVO. Just don't know when.

Does anybody know if that purple just north of 370 near hwy B is a active tower?

They're both rooftop sites

 

I think the 64 and Mason site is on the roof of the triangle shaped buidling on the northeast corner of 64 & Mason.

Cool. Thanks

Can someone confirm if there is a tower on top of the Marriott at 64 & Maryville University as well as 64 & Mason?

Grabbed the 3 digits from 370 & 94 (Little Hills Expressway) yesterday:  151 - 320 - 489

 

Mapped some points, too, but they don't seem to be showing up.

Did you get a speed test?

I made a discovery today. Even though my GNex is not active, I can still use it to get 3 digit style serving cells! Also the site at Parker & New Halls Ferry that was 3G accepted a couple weeks ago is now in donut mode. 562A2##.

The HTC EVO LTE I've been using isn't active either but it can get access to the LTE towers but not 3G.

It would be nice if I could get a tower near 64 & Mason with LTE.

Natural Bridge and Hanley SCID
