Weingard Square Shooter - OTA Solution- had anyone used?
There had been some real positive feedback on this new antenna from Weingard, maybe we should encourage Voom to look into it.
Here is a copy of one post from Remote Central-
"Just thought I'd let you guys know that I recently discovered a new HD antenna. In the past we specifically used the Channel Master 4228 8 bay and have been pretty happy with it. We were installing them in attics. 95% of the time they worked great the other 5% would drive us crazy.
Anyway, I purchased a weingard "squareshooter" the other day. It comes with a satellite type mast and can mount outside or in the attis. In this case we mounted it outside. We used a Channel master 7777 amp. If you haven't seen one of these antennas yet it is only about 18x18". Needless to say we were a little concerned before we installed it. I told the customer they were a guinea pig and they were fine with that.
The thing worked incredibly!! We ran the cable out the customers window before we mounted it, just in case it was a piece of garbage. It was picking up all of the HD channels on a HD300 receiver signal was all the way to the "d" in "good". And this is while it was laying on the ground."

No, Fiber to the towers is not CenturyLink for Drexel, MO because it can be either ILEC (Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier) or it can be CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier).
CenturyLink which has been known as Lumen Technologies is not the incumbent carrier in Drexel. In the Drexel, Missouri wire center and surrounding Cass/Bates county lines, alternative fiber and Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) with active transport infrastructure include:
- Peoples Telecommunications (Peoples Services): Operates extensive localized fiber facilities directly in the Drexel and Louisburg area, functioning as the primary regional CLEC/independent carrier on the ground.
- MoKan Communications (MoKan Dial): Maintains contiguous fiber routes right along the Missouri–Kansas border surrounding Drexel, often interconnecting or leasing dark fiber to neighboring towers.
- Conexon Connect: Builds and operates middle-mile and last-mile fiber networks across Cass County in partnership with local electric cooperatives, providing modern fiber transport paths through rural pockets around Drexel.
- Craw-Kan Telephone Cooperative: Holds an adjacent fiber footprint on the southern/Kansas edge of the Drexel exchange area that supports regional carrier transport.
So when it comes to connecting to the internet, you are really dealing with up to 3 companies whether it's AT&T or Verizon.
With AT&T, it can be up to 3 companies.
The first company is AT&T Wireless or AT&T California (ILEC) which provides the wireless connection or wired circuit to you.
The second company which applies only to physical circuits and not wireless service is AT&T Advanced Solutions Inc better known as ASI as a CLEC who provides the data transport between you and the ISP. If this was wireless, then it would be second company being the ISP. AT&T WorldNet being the ISP.
The third company would be the ISP itself which would be AT&T WorldNet if this was a wired connection.
As far as the Verizon backbone is concerned which is what was known as UUNet aka AlterNet (AS 701) as BBNPlanet (AS 1) later known as GTE Internetworking/Genuity has been sold to Level 3 and then CenturyLink which rebranded to Lumen Technologies.
While it will connect to Verizon's backbone which highly depends on the Access Point Name (APN) as using San Francisco where I am located for example,
a direct Verizon mobile customer will connect to Verizon's backbone in San Francisco. A Comcast/XfinityMobile customer which uses Verizon's towers will not as the first hop as seen in traceroutes can be in Houston, Chicago or Atlanta so to reach someone who uses Verizon across the street, the data packet will travel to one of those first and then travel back to San Francisco using Verizon. In both cases, you will always see Verizon Wireless as the first few hops before it will reach Verizon's Internet Backbone. MVNOs do not use the default APN and usually has their own gateways which in the case for Xfinity Mobile is COMCAST.RSLR.VZWENTP which is read just like internet domain names, in reverse order, Verizon Enterprise-Reseller-Comcast. XfinityMobile originally had high latency because of this reason which I and many others complained about but XfinityMobile ignored the issue until I filed a complaint with the FCC that finally pushed it to Xfinity Mobile's Engineering department which finally made it connect to Verizon Wireless's IP network in San Francisco and connected to Verizon's backbone locally.
So basically the APN is the invisible network you will not see in the traceroutes due to:
Mobile Access Point Names (APNs) – Cellular Networks
A cellular APN (the gateway connecting a mobile device to the carrier's packet data network):
• Carrier-Grade NAT (CGNAT) and Tunneling: Cellular data traffic is typically encapsulated inside tunnels (such as GTP - GPRS Tunneling Protocol) and routed through massive carrier gateways.
• ICMP Filtering and Rate Limiting: Mobile carriers and core network routers frequently block, drop, or rate-limit ICMP/traceroute responses (TTL Expired messages) for security, privacy, and to reduce router processing overhead.
• Hidden Hops: Carrier-grade firewalls and internal routers may be configured not to reply to probes or decrement TTL in ways that expose their internal architecture.
The backbone one connects to is only one part of the equation as it depends a lot on what sites one frequently connects to and what backbones those destinations are connected with that determines the quickest path between the source and the destination. Some destination sites only are connected to one backbone and some are connected to multiple backbones for redundancy. That is why it matters to choose the ISP that works the best for the sites one connects to if you want the best performance possible as the lowest latency and the speed is the objective of reaching the sites you most frequent. While there are many tier 1 backbones, the ones that carry 90% of the traffic worldwide are the ones that hopefully whatever ISP one chooses is directly connected to. There are also private peering points and public peering points locally so it does not always have to travel to a backbone provided that there is a peering agreement between the networks. All of this is done using BGP4 (Border Gateway Protocol version 4) which is how routes are announced as the path is determined by ASN (Autonomous System Numbers) so the routing table for different IPv4 or IPv6 can route a different way which all depends on the BGP4 announcements that the destination networks announced so like some sites may be just AS 701 100% of the way while other sites may be AS 701 to AS 1 or more and if there is peering, it may not even touch AS 701 at all and just connect directly between ones own AS drectly the the others AS (Autonomous System). AS has nothing to do with physical distance but just the shortest path of getting there.
This is better explained here:
Multiple access to the Internet via BGP4 protocol | BGP.us
BGP routing protocol was implemented when extensive routing tables started to significantly slow down the routers’ operation. Classless routing technique (CIDR) eliminates many bottlenecks and increases the stability of the Internet.
www.bgp.us
As I own and run a ISP, a lot of sites are actually local on the network as it's all on Akamai Technologies CDN (Content Delivery Network) servers which are physically hosted at our location so if one was visiting Apple, Microsoft, etc, the content is already on the Akamai server so it usually does not even need to travel the entire internet to get to it.
But on my home connection which is Comcast, it does travel all the way on Comcast before it hands off to Akamai's network in San Jose, CA before it reaches the Akamai server in Los Angeles which is probably located at One Wilshire Blvd in LA.

Sorry, I meant Consolidated. That's who provided my DSL when I lived there and the tech who installed it told me they provide the backhaul to that tower. People's has only been in town for two years, maybe less.

There's a ton to talk about. It's just most people are ignorant when it comes to their hopeless addiction to their phones and spend a lot of time on them but have no idea how the signal gets from point A to B thinking they work on magic, wishes and unicorn farts. They only care when they are at an event with thousands of other people and can't do their tick tocks and Snapgrams and their $1500 shiny toys are useless, I really don't give a damn about phones themselves but I have a tremendous interest in the underlying technology.
Wow ,who would of thought there was this much to talk about when it came to phone companies?
I always have Signal Check Pro and Network Cell Info open, looking to see what I'm connected to and watch the levels fluctuate as I move around as environmental variables change.
On my FirstNet line, Signal Check Pro would only show the indepth info for the LTE anchor bands when on 5G on my Pixel Fold 9 & 10. On the Pixel Fold 11 it shows everything. Not sure why the change, it has nothing to do with SA v NSA. When I saw that, it was like Christmas morning for me.
I'm not perfect, but I'm getting pretty good where I can drive by a tower and know which provider(s) is on it and can pick out each provider by the rack.
Yes and people will usually call it HoFo. For Internet, it was dslreports which I believe finally disappeared.there's a forum called howard forums. It's all about phone companies

Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
