Hi
Best way to find said tower? I downloaded some of the apps you suggested, not really sure how to use them.

There are websites that list towers but they are hard to use. I would suggest start by finding somewhere where you have 5 bars of service or at least 4 bars. Use open signal maps to see which direction the tower is in and head in that direction. Keep in mind that I say tower, but it could be attached to a building or whatever. Also, standing right under the tower won't get good signal. The way signal propagates, you need to be hitting the tower at a certain angle. After that, use the advanced signal status to watch the rsrp dbm, it should be decreasing as you get better signal. I find about 1000 feet from the tower gets optimal signal. But keep in mind that tower height makes a difference. There are also widgets that you can use to see signal strength. .
