Metro PCS site in early stages

The one thing puzzling thing about this one is that it only has room for 2 panels per sector. Seems kind of odd that they could put both CDMA and IDEN on this one the way it is right now.

Ok well I found out some bad news today. This site apparently is for Metro PCS and not Sprint. Too bad because both Sprint and Nextel could have really used a site here. I believe they still have one planned at or close by this location but this would have been the ideal place for them. So I have updated the image details to reflect my new findings.

Sorry Larry, I know you're heartbroken now

Yeah I've been bummed out about it all day. I really wanted this one badly. I felt a little better when I found out later in the day, the good news about Sprint finally having coverage in Bishop.

It's so weird because I saw they had a planned site in the same location with the cascade #'s and everything. So when I saw not one but two new sites going up there I would have bet the house that one of them was for Sprint. But I guess every carrier had the same idea at the same time to use those power poles???

It would have been surprising to have you take pictures of towers for a carrier other than Sprint, larry.

Yeah, almost as surprising as Meatchicken posting a new tower release for someone other than Verizon. Or Jones posting a press release for someone other than Cingular.

I know. I am guilty of that myself...

Larry do you have any updates?

Yes the Metro site has long been completed. I should take an updated picture. Also Sprint still has plans to build a site across the street from this one. They got the site approved by the city and all permits have been obtained. I drove by today and still no signs of construction. So hopefully soon.
