at my location often get down of 0.7 and up of 3.0 do u think high rf out at that tower is the problem? any idea on design specs for rf out on the LTE?

that reading was in front of the tower on Robinson St. I am checking speeds and LTE rf output levels at the towers around me. There is a tower on Airline near Williams that is 1.2 miles from my QTH. I am located on 3rd Street adjacent to the levee. ( I guess I am not supposed to give tower number or exact location?) This my nearest LTE tower. The LTE signal level varies from -106 to -119. There are two large birds nests on the tower. One nest has sticks that are between the radio and the antenna panel with sticks going into the panel. I suspect that the sticks in the panel are reducing the signal to some extent. This is on the sector facing my QTH. Have been attempting to get them removed for several weeks with many promises but no results Ericcson has gone to the site several times and I believe that they have raised the rf output. I read -48db across the street from the tower on the LTE signal. Got a download the the 30g range. I wonder what is the maximum rf out signal that anyone has seen on the 1900 LTE?????
