Lattice tower 97060
Louisville, Kentucky · Jefferson County
Overview
Dating from the 1980s, this lattice tower about 12 km (7.6 mi) from Louisville, KY is registered as ASR 97060 and reaches 75 m (246 ft) above ground.
The median lattice tower in Kentucky is 82 m tall across 741 registrations, so this one sits 8.9% below the typical height for its type.
Sba Towers III 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.
Line-of-sight distance from the top of a 75 m structure is about 36 km (22.2 mi) under the standard 4/3-earth model. Actual usable range is normally much shorter, since hills, buildings and foliage all cut into it.
The closest other registered structure is 571 m to the SSW. In total there are 27 other registered structures within 5 km.
Built roughly 39 years ago, it is one of 170 registered structures serving the Louisville area.

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.
Details on this page come from the FCC's public ASR file. The register records the physical structure and its owner; it does not list the antennas mounted on it or the networks they serve.
"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.
