  1. Well... They haven't been back to finish the tower. It's still looks the same today as it does when I took those pictures. According to someone from Reddit, which I shall take with a grain of salt, the crew made various safety violations on that tower and that they were probably kicked out of the market. So maybe that's why it remains unfinished? It does seem weird that they just up and left leaving wires just hanging. This is the photo I posted in /r/CellTowers Side note: I noticed Band 5 LTE going away in some areas. A tower in Bittinger, MD previously had Band 5 LTE and now it no longer does. It still has band 2 and 17 and no aggregation, at least not with my phone. I think it used CA with my ZTE MF288 modem. The Band 2 has 15 MHz bandwidth and hits 80 Mbps no problem.
  2. Yes sir, that's the one. It's not very far from me, I am just east of it. I can see both towers from my upper field. I've been trying to identify the radio heads on it. I think I might have found one of them. ERICSSON RRUS 8843. It looks similar to the middle one in my picture picture, heat sinks looks the same, but I don't know about the actual hardware. I've been basing my search on other towers and the plans I've found for them. I can find project plans for other towers in other places online but none for this one. I guess WV doesn't do anything electronically like other states do. Something like this. I've searched almost every way I could think of and can't one.
  3. Tillman Infrastructure built a new tower near me last October. A company finally came in to install the antennas and ground equipment on April 1st and 2nd. It's not completely finished yet and nobody has been back as far as I know since. The area shows AT&T 5G coverage by June 2020 according to the map on page 2 here: https://www.att.com/idpassets/sales/uf/assets/5g/ATT_5G_Maps_WV.pdf This site is 2500 ft down the road from an existing AT&T B4/B12 site. It's in Western MD near the WV Line, right beside I-68. Kind of reminds me of the setup at the top of page 5. New Cell site pics:
