For some reason, this site only has B1 5MHz. It's using the usual EARFCN of 199 but O2 hasn't done anything to fix it. Also doesn't seem to aggregate with B20 unfortunately. Site also doesn't support ENDC yet (which would be helpful considering eNB 103764 has n28).

Not entirely sure whether Vodafone has 5G on this site, but the coverage maps suggest it's possible, I know they do have ENDC at least on it.

O2 also broadcasts a 2G only signal further up on Chosen Hill, see 2G BTS 6541 (LAC 21785). Not sure whether this will eventually carry 4G in some sort, covers part of the A38 towards Tewkesbury which struggles with signal.

2G/3G information

2G broadcasts on BTS 8905 (LAC 21491). I'm not quite sure why it's on a different LAC compared to practically every other site in the area on 21785.

3G B8 3025 broadcasts on NB 5119 (LAC 21734). From Cellmapper data, it looks like the site used to broadcast 3G B1 10661 on NB 919 (using PCIs 75, 76 and 77 on 10919, 20919 and 30919 respectively).

3G B8 3050 also broadcasts on this site, using NB 1050 (LAC 21734). It seems like this started between 3/11/2024 and 10/11/2024 (which was very strange), PCIs are slightly different though.
