Overview

ASR 602996 is one of 20 registered structures in Gunnison, CO. It is a lattice tower standing 63 m (205 ft) above ground.

The median lattice tower in Colorado is 46 m tall across 256 registrations, so this one sits 36.8% above the typical height for its type.

American Towers LLC holds the registration. Tower companies like this one lease space on their structures to multiple carriers, so the registered owner does not tell you which networks operate here.

From 63 m up, the horizon sits about 33 km (20.2 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.

This is a dense cluster: 10 other registered structures fall within 5 km, the closest just 1.1 km (0.7 mi) to the SSW.

It is one of 20 structures on the FCC register in Gunnison, CO, and dates from the 1960s.

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 602996. 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.
