Overview

Registered with the FCC as structure 2639741, this tower about 17 km (11 mi) from Richmond, KY was built in 2004 and rises 353 m (1,157 ft) from the ground.

The median tower in Kentucky is 84 m tall across 1,377 registrations, so this one sits 321% above the typical height for its type.

Registration is held by Wdky, INC.. Unlike the tower companies that dominate the 27 registrations in Richmond, KY, this owner appears only once in Kentucky.

From 353 m up, the horizon sits about 77 km (48.1 mi) away. Coverage in the real world falls off well before that limit because of terrain, buildings and the physics of the band in use.

Its nearest neighbour is a tower 455 m to the WSW, standing 258 m tall.

The registration dates from the 2000s, part of the 2,880 structures on file for Kentucky.

About this record

A freestanding tower whose specific construction is not further specified in the registration.

All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 2639741. 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.
