Telstra 3G network towers

Gday George
Try cellsite.nudge.id.au/ no guaranties , but a hunch......

G'day George.
Something that we (in the past) were interested in from the "point of view" that when we knew exactly the bearing to direct our "home brew" yagi antenna we could get next g reception in some very remote locations.

Now, with our purchase of the Inmarsat Isatphone which uses a geo. stat. satellite constellation (no dropouts) the best of both worlds is available at very reasonable cost.

Worth looking at.

Gday...

This site will give you the location of TV Towers and Telstra NextG towers .... you just select which one you want to see from the "Select Data" words after typing in the town you are in.....

TV & Telstra NextG Towers

Hope this is helpful ... in some way

Cheers

You can get POIs for Next G towers from Australia POI You can download different formats including OziExplorer.

Another option is Nomad's Almanac but you need to add the Next G data, I have a file for it if you go down this path.

Dumb question.
Why?
Does it make any difference if your looking in the direction of the tower? I thought the arials were omnidirectional, meaning it would not matter which way you were pointing.

TV arials I under stand. They need to be pointed towards a tower.

Thanks to everyone that replied. I should explain my reason for wanting a signal finder. I have a Yagi aerial which I want to point directly to a Telstra tower. This is to get internet connection in remote fringe areas. I know that I can the location of telstra towers from various internet sites but then I need to plot this on Oziexplorer and get the bearings that way. These web sites are not allways up to date and some of the tower positions are not always where indicated. I thought that if there was a signal direction finder available it would make it a lot easier to find the direction of Telstra towers. Any further suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers

Maybe this is what you want
