Hi Chris,

Thanks, but I didn't see a way to look up individual tower locations on that
site, but it's for the U.K. anyway.

I've been told that U.S. carriers keep their tower locations secret. The
only way I've found to get tower location info so far is to use Websites
that cellular users contribute to, where they report the locations and cell
IDs of towers using their cell phones.

That seems like it's bound to be incomplete and full of inaccuracies. Hope
there's a better way.

Henry.
