Official post your Home Tower picture thread

[RJB]

Alright I thought this had been done before but I guess not. Lets post up the tower or set of panels that cover our homes nothing else. If you dont know what one it is then get out there and do some searching. I will start off. Also just post what carrier you use dont need to put everyone but if you want go ahead I want to see everyone participate and get more pics up.

I have two towers that mainly cover my home here they are.

this is easy for me. but its sorta funny. bc of the terrain here, the tower that covers me is not the closest one to me

ill post it soon, from the view of where i see it as i leave my street and a closer view.

GREAT IDEA!!

These 3 towers are 3 miles from my house, at I-85 exit 87, between Gaffney & Cowpens, SC.
I wonder why they couldn't just put them all on one tower, three seprate towers wastes alot of metal.

In this pic, SunCom is on the left, Alltel is in the middle, and Verizon is on the right.
The Alltel tower covers my house at -80 Rx signal (almost full).

Well...back home my Sprint phone will lock on to one of 2 towers, depending on its mood. Here is one, but I can never seem to find the picture of the other one int he gallery!

This tower is the one I use most frequently. However, it is a Thumb Cellular tower and I have Verizon, but since I live in the thumb of Michigan, that is why I use this tower the most. If I was at my friend's house, whose dad signed the contract, I would be using the next tower.

Here is the Alltel tower that covers my house
1 of 3 towers located near I-85 near exit 87.

I spend an average of 3000-4000 minutes per month on this tower alone (click image for more info):

Here's mine...

[Gamer03]

Here is one of the four towers that covers my neighborhood that is located approximately 0.25 miles SSE of my house (picture was taken standing at the end of my driveway and only AT&T and Alltel are on this tower):




Here is tower number two (it covers most of my neighborhood) that is approximately 1.1 to 1.2 miles ENE of my house (this is strictly a Sprint and Nextel tower):




Here are towers number three and four that also cover my neighborhood that are located approximately 2.25 miles south of my house in the industrial section of the north part of my city (AT&T, Sprint and Nextel, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Alltel are on these towers) :

Sorry For Me asking this dumb question, as i am new at this, but how can you tell which tower your phone is using??

[Jay2TheRescue]

If you have field test mode activated on your phone you can find out which channel your phone is on while at home, then scout out tower locations in your area (with field test activated) until you find that tower. (At the base of the tower with a really strong signal as measured in field test mode.)

Field Test is not available on all phones, and some of them have to be hacked, or you have to know a secret code to enter into the handset to activate it. I don't know if the VZW Treos have field test or not.
