Tower 605254
Columbus, Mississippi · Lowndes County
Overview
Structure 605254 about 22 km (14 mi) from Columbus, MS is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a tower measuring 229 m (750 ft) tall.
The median tower in Mississippi is 95 m tall across 1,761 registrations, so this one sits 142% above the typical height for its type.
Vb Nimbus, 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 229 m structure is about 62 km (38.7 mi) under the standard 4/3-earth model. Actual usable range is normally much shorter, since hills, buildings and foliage all cut into it.
Its nearest neighbour is a tower 1.2 km (0.7 mi) to the SW, standing 106 m tall.
Built roughly 37 years ago, it is one of 58 registered structures serving the Columbus 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 605254. 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.
