Overview

Structure 619165 in Lansing, MI is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a guyed tower measuring 133 m (435 ft) tall.

Locally it is the 3rd tallest of 65 registered structures in Lansing, MI.

The registrant is Macdonald Broadcasting Company Dba = Radio Station Whzz, a broadcaster. Structures registered to broadcasters usually carry the station's own transmitting antenna rather than leased wireless equipment.

Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 133 m has a theoretical sightline of 47 km (29.5 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.

Registration density around this point is 27 other structures within a 5 km radius.

The registration dates from the 2010s, part of the 4,519 structures on file for Michigan.

About this record

A slender mast held upright by tensioned cables anchored around it. The cheapest way to go very tall, which is why most structures above 300 m are guyed.

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.
