Cell tower developers often mislead residents and local officials by claiming new or taller towers are needed to fix coverage gaps — even when the FCC official map shows the area has good coverage.
If you leave in a rural area. Stop asking for coverage. Thank God you don’t have a tower. The schools need to return to books and smaller schools. The computers were only suppose to be for emergencies, not for the rest of a persons life. If you live in a rural area you are blessed.
The FCC's map is calculated, not measured. I did FCC FM radio station applications for a year and never set foot in the field with a field strength meter. At the frequencies used by cellular, originally the same as microwave ovens, the rules of propagation that apply at lower frequencies cease to apply. To provide proper coverage in dense urban areas, it is necessary to engineer significant overlap of limited channels. No, I do not work for a cellular company, nor in telecom for decades.

The towers are the issue not Covid. My opinion. Strong opinion.

Towers are popping up everywhere! I don’t trust these companies at all.
I no longer trust the experts anyway.
Where did you get your degree in electrical engineering?
Definitely don’t have a degree. But my coverage hasn’t changed with all these new towers going up.
