Compared with other tower registrations in Michigan, it is 108% taller than the median of 73 m.
K2 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 152 m structure is about 51 km (31.6 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 1.5 km (0.9 mi) to the SSE. In total there are 14 other registered structures within 5 km.
The registration dates from the 1990s, part of the 4,519 structures on file for Michigan.
