Hi Sue,

Sounds better than your current location.
Still, it is no substitute for measuring the actual levels, on site.

Towers are structures over 150 or 200 feet. They always have something
on them active, for the owner must sell space (multiple antenna
transmitters) to pay for the investment. So always avoid towers on the list.

Antennas can mean anything. It could be very active for phones on a
short structure or building, or very inactive like Railway and Logging.
Look for the list of who owns the antenna, that will give an idea of the
kind of use it gets.
