Tower 124439
North Platte, Nebraska · Lincoln County
Overview
This tower about 18 km (11 mi) from North Platte, NE carries FCC registration 124439. Its overall height is 213 m (699 ft) above ground, putting the top at 1177 m above sea level.
The median tower in Nebraska is 77 m tall across 897 registrations, so this one sits 177% above the typical height for its type.
The registrant is Tri State Broadcasting Association INC, a broadcaster. Structures registered to broadcasters usually carry the station's own transmitting antenna rather than leased wireless equipment.
The geometric radio horizon at this height is roughly 60 km (37.4 mi). Treat it as a ceiling rather than a coverage estimate — it assumes flat, clear terrain and ignores power and frequency entirely.
No other registered structure lies within 5 km, which is typical of rural and low-density areas where a single site covers a wide area.
The site lies 18 km (11 mi) outside North Platte, which is characteristic of structures placed for terrain and line of sight rather than proximity to population.

About this record
A freestanding tower whose specific construction is not further specified in the registration.
Record 124439 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.
