I have picked up a new mast this week I have an idea exactly where it is but the location cellmapper has estimated is 15 miles away, will it be that far out if I am the first person to pick it up? I was driving at the time. Also there is another mast that has been picked up near me by 5 other users not including me which is still new, it shows as a red mast, it's in a mountain region, is there any way to cross reference cell mast data with planning applications?

It could possibly be that far out depending on signal strength. I've had connections from sites in north Cardiff (you can see it on eNB 546051) and Barry at the beach in Weston-super-mare and I've had connections to a site on a hill 4mi away closer to me. You can get signal from really far out sometimes!

If you share the eNB number and network, someone might be able to point you in the right direction. Planning applications don't really say much from what I've gathered other than the types of antennas installed etc (and obviously the location of a site).

eNB is 53226.
Bands 3,20,28
The mast is in this location 52.3067679, -2.4316478 its a phase 8 monopole without the 5G antennas, the brackets are there but no antenna.

The region code for 53266 is 6209.
The other sites with the same region code are to the south / south west of Hereford.
EnB 7971, 7185, 9301and 9981
So I would assume that 53266 is located somewhere near those sites

Do you want me to locate the mast there for you then?

Yes please I'm still 30000 off my 50000 target, there is no mast located at that spot on cellmapper but I have parked right next to it and know it's a 3 mast. It's on a really high point in that part of the world so it makes sense that it is the correct location. I'm new to this so if you move the mast location to the correct place will other people start picking up the correct location?

Definitely was not S/SW of Hereford. Im a lorry driver and now mobile internet nerd. I stopped in a layby here 52.3069198, -2.4319365 noticed a new Three monopole missing the smaller 5G panels, I fired up cellmapper and carried on my journey, I literally headed directly West from that mast via Tenbury, Wooferton, Mortemers Cross. When I got home in Brecon I went onto cellmapper and found out I found a brand new mast, the location was in red by Lucton. I might be wrong but there is a brand new mast in the layby by Stockton.

Also, you can't tell with TACs for now, Three is moving from the VoLTE TACs (which will make things less confusing)

My PoW was 6120 but now 2123
