Verizon Site (Band A?)- an older one - just across the Buchanan Co line in Andrew County on Rt. DD | Extreme close-up of antenna - no spiffy panel antennas - look at those radiation elements - with a bit of a downtilt | Just in case you don't believe whose tower it is - with the call sign KNLG321 on the door! |

Two Cell sites across from each other on Rt K - near the Mo American Water new plant | Here's the one closest to the Water Company - just W of Rt. K FCC details HERE | And a close up of the it - kinda paltry |

This one is East of Route K - on the Right in the panorama above | And a close-up...wonder why they did not go to the top? | North of Cook Road is a sneaky cell site |

You can hardly see this one from Cook Rd - have to go on via Green Valley | Here's a close-up of the Cook Rd site | Here's a long shot of the Haug Radio shop at I-29 and 71, looks like some cell there - FCC INFO HERE |

Haug has Kenwood, Motorola, paging, broadband wireless Internet etc. | Here's a cell site on the former Green Acres retirement home site - until the home was closed, 5215 Green Acres Rd. It's just inside Buchanan County. Look Carefully at the top of the pole - FCC details here |

Funny story: the tower co wanted to put 2 sets of antennas at a taller height but Buchanan County said NO - so they just chopped off the top section. Looks silly! Now owned by AAT. FCC INFO HERE | This site is East of I-29 on 169 but almost in line with Eagle Radio KFEQ's AM 680 towers across West of I-29. Also set up to be part of the City's 860 MHz system - but US Cellular is owner | And a close-up of the site - the tower is vertical - the camera wasn't! FCC INFO HERE |

Eagle Radio studios - 4104 Country Lane
Near I-29 and Frederick Ave needed a tower for its STL's so it made a deal with Roberts Towers as a cell site - see more pix of this tower on the non-cell page |

Here's a sneaky downtown cell site for AT&T Wireless on the Hillyard Chemical Bldg - three sets of antennas - this is the SE one | Two cropped views - they have it licensed but no marketing says AT&T is in town! KNLG535 Per FCC and also HERE - but is probably used by US Cellular | The antenna on the North Side of the Hillyard Building - the vertical antennas may be old TDMA cell also. |
|

|
The Cell antenna on the SW Corner of the Hillyard Building | The Corby Bldg downtown is the tallest building in town and sports a Cingular cell site - this view from the NW | Here's the Corby building cell site seen from about 2 Mi SW in Kansas |

The other side of the Corby Bldg | Old Mill Nursery on 36th St just off Belt Hwy from West - with Global Towers proof sign | Old Mill Nursery close-up, looks like 3 cell co's |

That's the KQTV Tower at 4000 Faraon St on the left fringe with two cell towers North of it | Lotsa dishes at KQTV
|
KQTV top part of tower |
|
|
|
Lotsa stuff on the KQTV Ch 2 Tower | This is the older of the 2 closer to KQTV - started as a Nextel site | Base of the tower at left - says American Portable Telecom - but is probably a US Cellular site |
|
|

The newer tower adjacent to KQTV (and taller) was put up about August 2003 as a US Cellular site. FCC INFO HERE | See what it says | Long Shot "316 Yale St" but at corner of First and Yale - one of these is Verizon KNKA772 - FCC INFO HERE |
|
|
|
First and Yale from below - close-up | Roberts Towers - started as Sprint - just South of City Limits at 6801 Diagonal St | 6801 Diagonal St Close up - FCC INFO HERE |

6801 Diagonal St Info Sign | Cell tower at S 22nd St and Garfield - by behind the Heartland Motor Coach lot | 22nd and Garfield close-up |
|
|
|
22nd and Garfield properly known as 2215 Empire Lane and SWB probably means Cingular | Cellxion is the tower owner or site owner. | Looking up! |
