I'm certain lots of folks have used the tower locator utility at http://www.berkana.com/tower.php3. It has been down for the past 2-3 days. Has anyone heard any scuttlebutt about what the issue might be? Temporary problem? Permanent shut down? I personally would hate to lose the use of this valuable tool.
Thanks.

It's just temporary. It should be back running again today. They often have problems with their server.

I just tried to access the site and it's working now.

When you use it, make sure and use wildcards. Example, some of the towers in this area are listed as being near Willets, there is no Willets, it's Willits. I don't know whether this is the sites fault or the FCC's misspelling.

Good call mike. Also Sprint and probably others register their sites under different names. Sprint spectrum, Cox, and Wirelessco to name a few for Sprint. Also many of the SBA towers are built for Sprint, (especially in the West)

Is there any way to know what carriers use each tower by the data on the tower locator?

Usually not.
