Morning all

I stay in Weltevreden Park and I would like to know the exact position of the following towers if at all possible:
Constantia Kloof ( Proton)
Northcliff (JW)
Randpark Ridge

I need to know where they are situated so that I can focus my Directional antenna on one of them!:cool:
 
Go to iburst's site and check the coverage maps, the middle point of those circles is where the towers are, and you should be able to easily see where they located

Coverage circles????

Looks like big green swathes of varying intensities of green, depicting coverage of a given area, no circular patterns in my area

what I was after is something like the following Randpark ridge BS = Randridge Mall (Physical location)

Why don't the Iburst guys put this info on their website coverage maps, it would certainly speed up the process where finetunign one's connection strength is concerned!:D
 
hmm.. Im also not shure if they are always there.

But its usualyl pretty obvious almost exactly where they are, you can get it accurate to about a street or two just by looking where the centre of the dark green is. Then there should be a pretty obvious landmark or high spot in the area wherethey would put the tower.

Well, ive just looked an no.. there arent red circles, im shure Ive seen them before though..
 
E..........yes

Pilgrim and I must both be colour blind because they (the red circles) aren't there!

Eish I am confused!:confused:
 
I want to look on the site...but I still getting that the page freeze and don't load...Why is only certain members getting this problem? I think someone else also complained they had to keep refreshing the pages to load.

Anyway. will look l8
 
Some time ago EKV also told me the tower positions are visible on the maps, although I haven't seen them since the site was renewed. At the moment very little detail is visible in the dark green areas in Pretoria
 
Ja, on the old maps I remeber seeing red circles around the towers close to me.. actually, they definatley where there, but not anymore I see.
 
There were triangles showing the exact location but They didn't like me or crash for naming the towers. Probably got a lot of sheizer from poor performing tower complaints EG: Northcliff.

Thus removed em in new site.

Well, count me as one of them. Northcliff tower is crap. And on the coverage map it looks like a long stretch of dark green. Where is the tower in that? If i consider the way my signal's direction is and the distance, the tower should be in the lighter green area...mmmm

They can really put the tower location back on!!
 
Guys it can't be too hard to find these towers. Generally if you know your local topography their are only a few logical places to put the towers. Usually a high point on top of a building. The antenna is quite different from anything else, if you are not sure what you are looking for here is a pic!!

Thanks Daveogg

I will do some loering this arvie with the binos to see whether there is a BS on the ABBOT building or the other building further up the Constantia Kloof ( Above the shoprite next to Floar Clinic!);)

Where is the Nerthcliff tower situated, On the Water Tower??
 
Probably, all I know it it is atop that hill with the water tower.
