About this record
An open steel framework that carries heavy antenna loads with less material than a solid pole. Common for broadcast and multi-tenant wireless sites.
These figures come from the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database, filed under registration 2686259. Heights and coordinates are as submitted by the registrant, not independently surveyed.
"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.
