Overview

Structure 129040 about 20 km (13 mi) from Boise City, ID is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a lattice tower measuring 89 m (291 ft) tall.

The median lattice tower in Idaho is 48 m tall across 227 registrations, so this one sits 86.7% above the typical height for its type.

T-mobile West Tower LLC holds the registration directly. Carriers own a minority of registered structures — most lease space on towers held by independent tower companies.

Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 89 m has a theoretical sightline of 39 km (24.1 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.

The closest other registered structure is 1.7 km (1.1 mi) to the SSE. In total there are 2 other registered structures within 5 km.

It is one of 43 structures on the FCC register in Boise City, ID, and dates from the 1990s.

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 129040. 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.
