As far as I know, this channel or topic gives you information about the antenna you're connected to. 136 would be Zum Bacchus Restaurant, Somerset West, the B indicates which antenna (typically, there's more than one, facing different directions), the numbers following that are further information about the antenna; the configuration and declination etc.
You're in luck, this tower is scheduled for a 3G upgrade as part of MTN's phase two rollout.

@ MTN_DD: We would love further information about this. Is there any way you could give us some details of the Cellular Broadcast Messages that MTN broadcast?

I love your rig. I used to have dreams of one day owning a PC like that. (Does this give away my age?)

Good day,

This is used by our radio engineers to see what the cell and antennae tilte, etc are. I don't think this info is up to date any more, However I may be mistaken.
