There is a new tower that will built near me soon.

this is going to be my thread where i update with progression pictures.

check back in time to time, should be interesting.

3/23/08 -- Easter Sunday

this looks to be the site and the carved out path of where the tower will be located, as you can see its up onto a hill and there seems to be a large steel cage, most likely for a large cement base to the monopole.

More to Come!

Bill Clinton · 03-23-2008, 7:13 PM

Very cool. Any thoughts on what carriers will be located here? Keep up the good work.

Eric47 · 03-23-2008, 7:16 PM

AT&T is the main one i was told when i called the company building it. there is probably going to be others as this area is known for poor reception.

MasterC · 03-25-2008, 7:55 PM

Well, thats pretty neat. And congrats to the folks who can get service now.

Eric47 · 03-30-2008, 12:53 PM

UPDATE: 3/30/08

These pics are of the site, taken one week later. they have finally completed the cement base for the monopole and they have also completed having power added to the site it looks like.

~~RJB~~ · 03-30-2008, 2:11 PM

Eric do you think you could google map where this location is for us>

Eric47 · 03-30-2008, 2:18 PM

how/why? just curious. i could give a specific address via PM

MasterC · 03-30-2008, 2:56 PM

I think If you google mapped it, it would be alot easier for people to see it. But, whatever you want to do.

what company is buillding this tower.and i cant believe that they told you a carrier that is going to be on the tower. when i called a crown atlantic about carriers on specific tower, they told me it is against the law for them to release that kind of information, and wanted to know why i need that kind of information.let them know i was a tax payer and had the right to know.they refered me to my town hall.when i called the town hall.they didnt know there ___ from there elbow about the tower. thats pretty good that you could get that kind fo information from a tower company.

Eric47 · 03-30-2008, 6:03 PM

im not sure whos building it. the company who got permission and the rights to do it is not the same one building it is what i found out from calling around.

the way i found out who was going to be on it was from watching the local government channel and seeing them on their getting rezoning permission and there was an ATT representative (id guess lawyer or something) there.

there is likely to be others added im sure.

Day5InJanuary · 03-30-2008, 7:13 PM

i see,that makes sense then

RadioFoneGuy · 03-31-2008, 12:16 AM

I have seen tower company let the concrete base Cure for 30 days before building the tower.

Eric47 · 03-31-2008, 12:25 AM

yea it will be interesting to see the evolution of it.

with the climate here, i dont think concrete will take long to set.

i will check back on things once a week so i will report back with more pics then so we will see if anything changes.

Against the law? Hardly. The only thing possibly limiting them from releasing that information would be a confidentiality agreement but breaking that agreement wouldn't be illegal. Now, most companies that lease the towers do respect their tenants privacy and in order to prevent vandalism they will not release who is in there. Your best bet lies with the installation contractor, they'll know who the work is being done for and typically, they share easily.

Day5InJanuary · 03-31-2008, 7:00 PM

ya, thats what they told me "against the law" the woman who answered also began to interigate me. i then stoped the conversation before it went any further. thats when she stated my town hall will have all the information i need. when i clalled the town hall they didnt know what i was talking about.

Eric47 · 04-05-2008, 9:09 PM

New Pics 4/5/08

Eric47 · 04-06-2008, 4:36 PM

now that i have a little time ill remark on the pictures.

the tower itself seems to be all one piece, but it may be sections, i honestly cant tell and i wish i had been there for when they put it up.

id estimate it to be about 100-150ft and its pretty much hollow like a tube.

standing at the base of the tower my phone said "SOS" so i suppose they did pick a rather bad spot for ATT and the area around there has been known for weak coverage. IMO however, it may have been more effective down the road from there some but its in an area where getting zoning permissions is tough. this is "church property" that they built this one on.

the large loomes of wire id assume are to supply up to the attenas and for the backhaul.

there is no attenas up on the site yet, but there are 3 racks hanging up there with a place for 4 antennas per rack. my guess is this will carry both EDGE and 3G as they are rolling it out in this area currently.

anyone else noticy anything? it all seems pretty standard to me, we dont get any high speed concealed towers or anything around here.

Yankees368 · 04-06-2008, 5:30 PM

I never understood why they dont wire up and attach the panels on the ground, and then life the pole up. It seems like it would save a lot of work.
