Tower array 599637
Kansas City, Missouri · Jackson County
Overview
This tower array element about 10 km (6.2 mi) from Kansas City, MO carries FCC registration 599637. Its overall height is 102 m (333 ft) above ground, putting the top at 335 m above sea level.
It is taller than 81.9% of the 4,530 registered structures in Missouri, placing it 819th statewide.
The registrant is Bott Broadcasting Company, a broadcaster. Structures registered to broadcasters usually carry the station's own transmitting antenna rather than leased wireless equipment.
At 102 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 42 km (25.8 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.
The closest other registered structure is 152 m to the SE. In total there are 31 other registered structures within 5 km.
It is one of 149 structures on the FCC register in Kansas City, MO, and dates from the 1980s.

About this record
One element of a 3-tower array. Multi-tower arrays are typically AM broadcast antennas, where the towers work together to shape the signal in a particular direction.
Record 599637 is drawn from the FCC ASR weekly file dated 2026-08-23. The database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 ft or near airports — so shorter masts and small cells will not appear.
"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.
