There's an IMSI catcher (stingray) being used on the west end.

These pretend to be cell towers and can route your phone calls, text messages, and data through them, and are used to track your location.

I've picked up over a dozen different 'towers" that don't exist.

This is one. It's a house. There is absolutely no tower of any sort there whatsoever.

You can help locate real and fake towers by using an app like network survey and upload anonymously.

Not anymore. There's also one next door.

Pinged once. Never seen before. Never seen again.

That's what gives it away. A "tower" that appears once, randomly, and never again.

Those are stingrays.

I upload all my network tower data to the online database.

I meander about town.

I am keenly aware of my surroundings and what is/isn't (supposed to be) there.

The triangulation is difficult when there's only 1 point. But the gps and all that is accurate to a few meters.
