About this record
One element of a 4-tower array. Multi-tower arrays are typically AM broadcast antennas, where the towers work together to shape the signal in a particular direction.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 601414. 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.
