Tower 598477
Madison, Indiana · Jefferson County
Overview
Registered with the FCC as structure 598477, this tower in Madison, IN was built in 1994 and rises 121 m (396 ft) from the ground.
Locally it is the 1st tallest of 21 registered structures in Madison, IN.
Crown Castle Gt Company, 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.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 121 m has a theoretical sightline of 45 km (28.1 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
Its nearest neighbour is a tower array element 80 m to the SSE, standing 63 m tall.
The registration dates from the 1990s, part of the 3,767 structures on file for Indiana.

About this record
A freestanding tower whose specific construction is not further specified in the registration.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 598477. 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.
