Overview

Registered with the FCC as structure 118514, this building with pipe about 56 km (35 mi) from San Francisco, CA was built in 1980 and rises 175 m (575 ft) from the ground.

FCC records list Pacific Gas & Electric Company as the registered owner of this structure.

From 175 m up, the horizon sits about 55 km (33.9 mi) away. Coverage in the real world falls off well before that limit because of terrain, buildings and the physics of the band in use.

Its nearest neighbour is a building 225 m to the NNE, standing 79 m tall.

The site lies 56 km (35 mi) outside San Francisco, which is characteristic of structures placed for terrain and line of sight rather than proximity to population.

About this record

These figures come from the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database, filed under registration 118514. Heights and coordinates are as submitted by the registrant, not independently surveyed.

"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.
