Overview

Structure 2617680 about 12 km (7.5 mi) from Talladega, AL is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a tower measuring 139 m (455 ft) tall.

It is taller than 95.5% of the 4,539 registered structures in Alabama, placing it 207th statewide.

American Towers 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.

Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 139 m has a theoretical sightline of 49 km (30.1 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.

Its nearest neighbour is a guyed tower 1.5 km (0.9 mi) to the N, standing 97 m tall.

Its county accounts for 68 of the 4,539 structures registered across Alabama.

About this record

A freestanding tower whose specific construction is not further specified in the registration.

Details on this page come from the FCC's public ASR file. The register records the physical structure and its owner; it does not list the antennas mounted on it or the networks they serve.

"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.
