Lattice tower 2702508
Palmdale, California · Los Angeles County
Overview
Structure 2702508 about 14 km (8.7 mi) from Palmdale, CA is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a lattice tower measuring 59 m (195 ft) tall.
Within its county it ranks 116th out of 1,293 registered structures by overall height.
Los Angeles Regional Interoperable Communications System (la-rics) Joint Power Authority C/O Pyramid Network Services holds the registration. Publicly owned structures of this kind typically support emergency services, public safety radio or municipal networks.
Line-of-sight distance from the top of a 59 m structure is about 32 km (19.7 mi) under the standard 4/3-earth model. Actual usable range is normally much shorter, since hills, buildings and foliage all cut into it.

The site lies 14 km (8.7 mi) outside Palmdale, 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.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 2702508. Height is the overall height above ground including any antennas and lightning rod, which is why it can exceed the height of the supporting structure alone.
"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.
