Help with locating sites (3) - megathread

Sponsored Links
Update on this one: fairly sure it is on Auchinoon Hill. Drove past it and picked up an extremely strong band 20 signal, and weaker 1+3 but that's to be expected. Pinned it there as I don't see where else it could be
Looks spot-on to me! 😊
 
Update on 52777

I have just recently picked up zero bar B3 and 28 signal from Sparsholt today (pinned location on right)

The pin on the left is where I first discovered 52777 in Clarendon park with full 4 bar B28 and 2 bar B1.

So the mystery eNB is likely between those pinned locations

I found this one today

eNB 52777

Has full spec B1,3,20,20 with N78

Spotted 14 miles away

5G hardly made a difference in faster usage but works 20mb down on 4G in that exact spot

The signal goes out completely once leaving the area

The blue fade thing outside the circle sort of gives a line of sight idea.

Good luck finding it
@DirtyRat583

This tells the TA and line of sight idea
 
The blue line shows the sight where the 52777 signal is coming from where the red line shows where the signal cannot possibly come from.

What sectors are you getting on each end? Might be helpful, I think 0/6/71/91 is primarily 0°, 1/7/72/92 is 120° and 2/8/73/93 is 240°

Don't quote me on that

Not sure if it would be any helpful adding info to the sector guide, but if anyone's reading this, generally on 3 sector sites, the networks will follow some sort of pattern similar to this (varies by site etc):

Vodafone/O2 in Vodafone host: 1x (East, around 120°), 2x (South, around 240°), 3x (North, around 0°)

Vodafone/O2 in O2 host: 1x (North, around 0°), 2x (East, around 120°), 3x (South, around 240°) (might be a bit wrong here since I'm not in an O2 host zone regularly and taking a glance at O2 maps doesn't really help me here)

EE/3: 0 (North, around 0°), 1 (East, around 120°), 2 (South, around 240°)

This is generally right, yeah. Tried to make a diagram but O2/VF are Not consistent so I stopped

Since the last time I checked it, sector 2 was mapped, and I think the tower's somewhere in Cranborne Chase. No idea where exactly, though. It's not coming from towards Andover, though - probably just the signal being reflected off something (hill, building, etc.)
 
For EE and 3 sector A (cell 0) is normally the most north facing one. Then clockwise from there. So normally 0 is north-ish, 1 between east-south, 2 between south-west

i don't locate VO2 sites as often, but from the ones i have, seems like they just start from 0° and go clockwise from there. So cell 10 between north-east, cell 20 south-ish, cell 30 west-ish.

e.g. a 90°/210°/330° site would go in that order for VO2 but would be 330°/90°/210° for EE/3.

I've also found EE will skip cell(s) 0 and/or 1 sometimes on single/dual sector sites. And there's also some sites just don't follow the normal pattern at all, but probably like 90%+ do.

Had a look and there's no 5G coming from Cranborne Chase on coverage checker
