I guess that's congrats to us then! We should have a lot more once Ashley finds her digital camera. She's been on the road a lot lately, and I've been prodding her to take some pics for us...

haha, nice

Who had the very first upload? And just to clear this up, is this 5000 SITES, or 5000 PICTURES? I know some sites have 3 or 4 pictures submitted. ;-)

Well you're right, I didn't discount multiples or the non-cell sites section.

I am trying to conduct a study of cell sites in Horry, Georgetown, and Brunswick Counties and cannot seem to find any information on where these sites are located. Any suggestions.....?.

There are some sites out there with tower maps, but they are woefully incomplete, even on the FCC site. Often times towers listed don't even have cellular antennas on them, and if the cellular panels are attached to a building they may be excluded from some listings as well. The best way for a small area is to just go tower hunting yourself.

So, it's been over a year since this thread was made. It makes me wonder how many cell site pics we're at now?
