Tower 102120
Ocala, Florida · Marion County
Overview
Registered with the FCC as structure 102120, this tower about 10 km (6.4 mi) from Ocala, FL was built in 1991 and rises 181 m (593 ft) from the ground.
It is taller than 98.4% of the 6,641 registered structures in Florida, placing it 105th statewide.
Registration is held by Marion, County Of, which owns 4 of the structures registered in Ocala, FL.
From 181 m up, the horizon sits about 55 km (34.4 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 2.8 km (1.8 mi) to the WSW.
The site lies 10 km (6.4 mi) outside Ocala, which is characteristic of structures placed for terrain and line of sight rather than proximity to population.

About this record
A freestanding tower whose specific construction is not further specified in the registration.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 102120. 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.
