Lattice tower 116752
Quincy, California · Plumas County
Overview
Dating from the 2010s, this lattice tower in Quincy, CA is registered as ASR 116752 and reaches 37 m (120 ft) above ground.
The median lattice tower in California is 43 m tall across 634 registrations, so this one sits 14.3% below the typical height for its type.
The structure is registered to Union Pacific Railroad Company, which holds 89 registrations across California.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 37 m has a theoretical sightline of 25 km (15.5 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
No other registered structure lies within 5 km, which is typical of rural and low-density areas where a single site covers a wide area.
The registration dates from the 2010s, part of the 6,865 structures on file for California.

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 116752. 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.
