Lattice tower 129427
Birmingham, Alabama · Shelby County
Overview
ASR 129427 is a lattice tower registered about 19 km (12 mi) from Birmingham, AL. It stands 72 m (236 ft) above ground level.
The median lattice tower in Alabama is 81 m tall across 1,099 registrations, so this one sits 11.0% below the typical height for its type.
Crown Castle Gt Company, LLC holds the registration. Tower companies like this one lease space on their structures to multiple carriers, so the registered owner does not tell you which networks operate here.
At 72 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 35 km (21.7 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.
Three other registered structures sit within 3.6 km (2.2 mi), the nearest 199 m to the SSW.
The registration dates from the 1990s, part of the 4,539 structures on file for Alabama.

About this record
An open steel framework that carries heavy antenna loads with less material than a solid pole. Common for broadcast and multi-tenant wireless sites.
Source data is the FCC ASR record for structure 129427, which gives a construction date of 1996. Registrations are updated when a structure changes, so figures reflect the most recent filing rather than continuous monitoring.
"Owner" is the entity that registered the structure, usually a tower company such as American Tower or Crown Castle. It does not indicate which carriers operate equipment on the structure.
