Tower 607250
Kansas City, Kansas · Wyandotte County
Overview
Structure 607250 in Kansas City, KS is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a tower measuring 141 m (461 ft) tall.
Within its county it ranks 2nd out of 52 registered structures by overall height.
The registrant is Kcbr-am Limited Partnership Dba = Radio Station Kcbr, a broadcaster. Structures registered to broadcasters usually carry the station's own transmitting antenna rather than leased wireless equipment.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 141 m has a theoretical sightline of 49 km (30.3 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
This is a dense cluster: 17 other registered structures fall within 5 km, the closest just 1.1 km (0.7 mi) to the SSE.
Built roughly 55 years ago, it is one of 43 registered structures serving the Kansas City area.

About this record
A freestanding tower whose specific construction is not further specified in the registration.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 607250. 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.
