Overview

Unalaska, AK has 18 registered antenna structures on the FCC register — the 14th largest count among the 245 places in Alaska that have any.

Counted against 4,306 residents, that is 418 per 100,000 — worth reading alongside area density, since structures cluster along roads and ridgelines rather than where people sleep.

Half the registered structures here are taller than 14 m (47 ft) and half are shorter.

The mix here is 8 lattice towers, 2 guyed masts, 1 monopole — the rest of the register is made up of rooftops, water tanks and structures the FCC records without a specific type.

The oldest structure on file here was registered in 1990, the newest in 2022 — 32 years of build-out visible in one register.

About this data

The underlying records are the FCC's own registrations as of 2026-08-23. Every structure counted here carries a registration number you can check against the FCC directly.

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.
