Overview

Winona, MN has 19 registered antenna structures on the FCC register — the 14th largest count among the 698 places in Minnesota that have any.

Counted against 26,530 residents, that is 71.6 per 100,000 — worth reading alongside area density, since structures cluster along roads and ridgelines rather than where people sleep.

At a median of 78 m (257 ft), structures here run 1.3% shorter than the Minnesota median of 79 m (260 ft).

The largest registered owner here is American Towers LLC, which holds 3 of them — 15.8% of the local total. Owner is not the same as carrier: tower companies lease space on their structures to several networks at once.

The earliest structure still on the register here dates from 1953.

About this data

Counts here are computed from the FCC's registered structure file, dated 2026-08-23. If a mast near you is missing, the usual reason is that it sits below the 200-foot registration threshold.

The FCC Antenna Structure Registration database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 feet or near airports. Many small cells, rooftop antennas and short towers are not registered and will not appear here.

"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.
