Lattice tower 2691841
Palmer, Alaska · Matanuska-Susitna Borough
Overview
This lattice tower about 8.3 km (5.2 mi) from Palmer, AK carries FCC registration 2691841. Its overall height is 56 m (185 ft) above ground, putting the top at 152 m above sea level.
Of the 28 structures registered about 8.3 km (5.2 mi) from Palmer, AK, this is the 2nd tallest.
American Towers LLC is the registered owner and accounts for 3.6% of the registered structures in Palmer, AK.
At 56 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 31 km (19.2 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.
This is a dense cluster: 10 other registered structures fall within 5 km, the closest just 1.9 km (1.2 mi) to the S.
The site lies 8.3 km (5.2 mi) outside Palmer, which is characteristic of structures placed for terrain and line of sight rather than proximity to population.

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 2691841, 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.
