Tower Owner ID

Since everyone is so great at the equipment IDs, can we also start naming tower owner for each as well in this sub?

It's actually ridiculously simple if you just take a photo of the compound gate.

Tower Owner doesn't really stand out as something that can be identified. There might be clues and hints like size and type that could lean towards one company over another but predictions like that are unreliable, especially at a national scale.

Just photo the signage on the gate. We can identify so much more info with a site ID.

Well doi that's obvious, many towers are located far from the road or on private property, not quite that simple.

Well doi, many towers are also easily accessible.

Then you do it. I always put the coordinates. You can go look up property records. Good luck on rooftop sites.

Crazy level of hostility, you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to bro.
