Lattice tower 609105
Bakersfield, California · Kern County
Overview
The FCC lists structure 609105 about 8.8 km (5.5 mi) from Bakersfield, CA as a lattice tower. Overall height above ground is 110 m, or 362 ft.
Of the 117 structures registered about 8.8 km (5.5 mi) from Bakersfield, CA, this is the 2nd tallest.
The structure is registered to T-mobile West LLC, which holds 416 registrations across California.
At 110 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 43 km (26.9 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 3.8 km (2.4 mi), the nearest 2.1 km (1.3 mi) to the WNW.
California has 634 registered structures of this type, and this is one of them.

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 609105, which gives a construction date of 1991. 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.
