Tower 124265
Belle Chasse, Louisiana · Plaquemines Parish
Overview
Dating from the 1990s, this tower in Belle Chasse, LA is registered as ASR 124265 and reaches 98 m (320 ft) above ground.
It is taller than 69.4% of the 3,710 registered structures in Louisiana, placing it 1136th statewide.
Alltel Corporation holds the registration directly. Carriers own a minority of registered structures — most lease space on towers held by independent tower companies.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 98 m has a theoretical sightline of 41 km (25.3 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
Its nearest neighbour is a monopole 3.4 km (2.1 mi) to the NW, standing 40 m tall.
Built roughly 32 years ago, it is one of 20 registered structures serving the Belle Chasse 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 124265. 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.
