It's pretty simple to see which sector you are connected to. Just issue
this command:

/interface wireless monitor 0
                  status: connected-to-ess
                 channel: 5900/5/an
       wireless-protocol: nv2
                 tx-rate: 16.2Mbps-5MHz/1S
                 rx-rate: 16.2Mbps-5MHz/1S
                    ssid: HamWAN
                   bssid: E4:8D:8C:F1:6D:22
              radio-name: Gold-S2/K7WAN
         signal-strength: -57dBm
     signal-strength-ch0: -57dBm
      tx-signal-strength: -59dBm
  tx-signal-strength-ch0: -59dBm
  tx-signal-strength-ch1: -75dBm
             noise-floor: -120dBm
         signal-to-noise: 63dB
                  tx-ccq: 93%
                  rx-ccq: 93%
   authenticated-clients: 1
        current-distance: 10
                wds-link: no
                  bridge: no
        routeros-version: 6.41.3
                 last-ip: 169.48.173.167
       current-tx-powers:
6Mbps:31(25/31),9Mbps:31(25/31),12Mbps:31(25/31),18Mbps:31(25/31),24Mbps:31(25/31),36Mbps:29(23/29),48Mbps:29(23/29),54Mbps:27(21/27),HT20-0:29(23/29),HT20-1:29(23/29),HT20-2:29(23/29),

HT20-3:29(23/29),HT20-4:29(23/29),HT20-5:27(21/27),HT20-6:27(21/27),HT20-7:26(20/26)
     notify-external-fdb: no

You can see the radio name right there next to the signal strength.

If you can tell me your MAC, I can look you up in the logs to see what
sector you connected to.
