About this record

A freestanding tower whose specific construction is not further specified in the registration.

Source data is the FCC ASR record for structure 126819, which gives a construction date of 2008. Registrations are updated when a structure changes, so figures reflect the most recent filing rather than continuous monitoring.

"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.
