Houston, Mississippi · Chickasaw County
Overview
Structure 2633138 in Houston, MS is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a tower array element measuring 170 m (556 ft) tall.
Of the 20 structures registered in Houston, MS, this is the 1st tallest.
Registration is held by Cajun Radio Corporation, which owns 3 of the structures registered in Houston, MS.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 170 m has a theoretical sightline of 54 km (33.3 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.

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.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 2633138. 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.
