Overview

The FCC register lists 6 antenna structures in and around Normal, IL. That is the 194th highest count of any place in Illinois.

Counted against 53,275 residents, that is 11.3 per 100,000 — worth reading alongside area density, since structures cluster along roads and ridgelines rather than where people sleep.

At a median of 54 m (177 ft), structures here run 13.9% shorter than the Illinois median of 63 m (206 ft).

Monopoles account for 33.3% of the registrations here — a single tubular shaft, cheaper to permit in built-up areas because it takes little ground space.

The most recent registration on file here dates from 2015.

About this data

All figures on this page are aggregated from the federal antenna structure register of 2026-08-23, not from carrier coverage data. The two answer different questions.

The FCC Antenna Structure Registration database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 feet or near airports. Many small cells, rooftop antennas and short towers are not registered and will not appear here.

"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.
