About this record
One element of a 5-tower array. Multi-tower arrays are typically AM broadcast antennas, where the towers work together to shape the signal in a particular direction.
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.
