Monopole 2709528
Chicago, Illinois · Cook County
Overview
This monopole about 9.1 km (5.7 mi) from Chicago, IL carries FCC registration 2709528. Its overall height is 38 m (126 ft) above ground, putting the top at 222 m above sea level.
Of the 207 structures registered about 9.1 km (5.7 mi) from Chicago, IL, this is the 95th tallest.
Vb-s1 Assets, 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.
At 38 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 26 km (15.9 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.
Its nearest neighbour is a building 1.3 km (0.8 mi) to the ESE, standing 88 m tall.
Ranked 95th by height among the 207 registered structures in Chicago, IL, it sits within a network of sites that between them cover the surrounding area.

About this record
A single tubular shaft. Cheaper to permit in built-up areas because it takes little ground space and reads as less industrial than lattice.
Record 2709528 is drawn from the FCC ASR weekly file dated 2026-08-23. The database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 ft or near airports — so shorter masts and small cells will not appear.
"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.
