Overview

The FCC register lists 5 antenna structures in and around McGrath, AK. That is the 45th highest count of any place in Alaska.

The 5 structures here sit at 0.12 per square mile of land.

Heights are uneven: the median is 23 m (75 ft) but the tallest is 43 m (140 ft), roughly 1.9 times that — usually the signature of a broadcast mast among shorter mobile sites.

Lattice towers (2) and guyed masts (1) between them make up much of the register here — both are older, taller designs than the monopoles that dominate newer urban sites.

The most recent registration on file here dates from 2011.

About this data

Source is the FCC Antenna Structure Registration file of 2026-08-23. What it records is structures, not the radios mounted on them: the register cannot tell you which carrier operates from a given site.

The FCC Antenna Structure Registration database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 feet or near airports. Many small cells, rooftop antennas and short towers are not registered and will not appear here.

"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.
