Tower information

Yes you are correct, sorry about theat, a typo [:I]

27.0756 E - 26.1031 S should read 28.0756 E - 26.1031 S

I have corrected the post.

Hi all,

It's a real pity that in Cape Town only the "Boerewors curtain" gets so many towers....

1 Tower in Wynberg !!!!!! HELLO Stalled-Tech , there are computers in the south of the peninsula.... 9.1km away have u tried to negotiate to get onto the Plessey high spot yet?

btw How many times must I click on Zone-locator to get a tower up???

eisch

Excuse my ignorance. But can someone please explain how the sectoring works. i.e What does the numbers 1-120-240 mean.

And where do I get a map where I can plot the Long & Lat co-ordinates on.

Thanks
Clive
 
No problem.

Look 2 posts back for a link to "MyWireless Stuff" in ProAsms signature. Its all there

for lat/long you must consult the broadband zone locator at www.sentech.co.za AKA "check if you're zoned"
 
I've discovered www.brabys.com also have maps of SA. It's a lot faster.

I've changed the script to load you a map of the place your querying.
 
Thanks greedyflyza

It's all so clear to me now (2001 Space Oddesy)

I always wondered what those silly little numbers at the bottom of the zonelocator meant. Go figure. I thought they were there just to keep you occupied while you wait for the map to load.

Ok, so...

Code: 
Randburg (Metro Centre)	[82]	(28.00.19	26.05.40)	2.469 km	344 degrees	24%	-82dBm
Council Mineral Tech	[12]	(27.58.42	26.05.15)	2.601 km	51 degrees	23%	-83dBm

...and...

Code: 
Killarney		[82]	(28.03.14	26.09.59)	1.002 km	287 degrees	32%	-74dBm
Hyde Park		[66]	(28.01.59	26.07.31)	4.414 km	165 degrees	19%	-87dBm
Sentech Tower (Brixton)	[126]	(28.00.26	26.11.31)	4.849 km	49 degrees	18%	-88dBm

but the modem doesn't pick up a signal at all at either location (yes, if you're clever, you can now triangulate my locations [:p]) It does work at other locations, so it's presumably not broken.

Any ideas?

nic,

what does the % column indicate? It seems to not be related to the signal input.. is it the maximum signal at x distance or what?

Also, why do you ask for signal strength.. are you perhaps building a haphazard kind of "footprint" on the map - that would make some interesting reading.

Would it be possible to use cookies or autocomplete or something so we dont have to type in coordinates the whole time.

I still dont get what 98 degrees means. Is this from true north? ie. angle from true north line to line between me and the tower?
 
% & dBm is what I would expect (given LOS)
I was considering a footprint, but the logs show that very few people know what they are doing.

"Auto complete" will be done shortly.

98 degrees from the tower to you. 180+98=278 degrees from you to the tower. determine antenna.

Just a question. Should we give your calculator the information in D.M.S, or is it a decimal value all the way?

--deckert
 
The calculator supports both, and will warn you if there is a possible mistake, e.g. 28.1245 often mean 28.12.45. Use 28.12450 to get rid of the warning.

OK, I see someone logged 2 observations form the same house, so I had to fix the calculator to show both observations.

oops, that would have been me ;-)

I can see 66,102,22,12,82,110 on a goooood day ;-) ... too bad I cannot connect to almost ALL of them ;-)

R

btw... Has anyone heard anything about the new version of the software ? I'm to lazy to plug the MyWireless back to a Windows PC ;-)

There are other problems regarding getting the permission from the church guys that could stall the switch on.
Hell CT sure have wierdo's, if it aint the treehuggers its the clergymen and if its not them its the metro licensing schemes and if its not them, grrrrrrr the list goes on and on [:(]

Hi ProAsm,

Any ETA on the Newlands tower?

TIA
