It let me go to the site, but it said this... "Oops....We Could Not Complete your Search Request", when I typed in a city.

I've been using antennasearch.com for many months. It is how I found out about the new tower being built in my neighborhood. I already get reasonable reception, and now I can't wait for the new tower to be built!

You have to be patient when the site is processing. I've seen it take five minutes before. I start the search, then get a snack, and come back in a few minutes.

It does not say loading or anything like that, it just comes up with that message.

I tried it after reading your post. The site must be having problems today. I used it successfully, so I would try it again in a few days.

Is your new tower a short one? If so, it may not require the usual FCC license. Sprint has a flagpole tower by my house. It is short enough that it does not require the same FCC license as the normal tower. I believe that antennasearch uses FCC records to compile its lists.

The new tower that T-Mobile is supposed to be putting in by me will be exactly one block away from the Sprint flagpole tower in my neighborhood. The T-Mobile tower will be 130 feet, and I expect it to be a standard cell tower. Sprint had to make theirs a flagpole tower in order to get my overzealous neighborhood association to allow it, while the T-Mobile will be just outside of my neighborhood association's reach. :cool:

It is working for you? It has never worked for me yet. I don't know why.

Perhaps it is having a problem with the address you are using. Try a different address, just to see if it will work. You could try a parent's house.
