Struggling to find mast location from Fibocom NL952 output.

Can anyone help me determine the location of the mast being used from this output?

I am pretty sure I know which one it is from the direction of the signal but would like to confirm it.

thats the entire section from fibocom's user manual for the nl952 about gtccinfo at command
hopefully it helps or helps someone on here work out your results :)
 
Someone will no doubt beat me to this, but A3EE0C = 10743308 in decimal = eNB 41966 sector 12. (see here) With an eNB as high as that, it must be quite a new mast. Sadly it's not been mapped on CellMapper. I don't suppose you could tell us where in the UK it is, roughly?

Edit: looks like west Wales somewhere. It's quite a big area though!

although it could be being reflected off something I suppose.
Probably the item in your profile piccy SA20. :rolleyes: :giggle:
 
It is a new mast. It came online on Friday. Yes it is Wales.

I’m guessing the mast is due north of the pub because that is where the signal is strongest, although it could be being reflected off something I suppose.
Looks like it could well be this one:


@Denco1 what do you reckon?

EDIT: Oops, might not be - I think it's already mapped and has a different ID. Probably not then!

Definitely not that one because that is what I am connected to now!
I see. CellMapper doesn't have one at that exact location, which means it probably could be this one. Here's what it's got at the moment:

That is what I thought it was initially but the numbers don't seem to make sense.

Also, the pub landlord is getting four bars of signal inside his stone built pub (iphone on EE). Considering the distance and terrain, I find that surprising.

Sorry, I quote-tweeted the wrong post when I replied. I was thinking it was the one you posted the Google Maps link for. I've also just noticed that EARFCN, 1851 - it's a bit unusual. I have never seen that before! Someone more knowledgeable will come along at some point, I have no doubt, to clear things up.

EDIT: Ignore. 1851 is just hex for 6225 (EE's band 20 allocation, 5MHz). Daft me!
