Overview

Registered with the FCC as structure 110653, this tower array element about 11 km (7.0 mi) from Albuquerque, NM was built in 1985 and rises 135 m (443 ft) from the ground.

The median tower array element in New Mexico is 93 m tall across 26 registrations, so this one sits 44.7% above the typical height for its type.

The structure is registered to Vb Nimbus, LLC, which holds 6 registrations across New Mexico.

From 135 m up, the horizon sits about 48 km (29.7 mi) away. Coverage in the real world falls off well before that limit because of terrain, buildings and the physics of the band in use.

About this record

One element of a 2-tower array. Multi-tower arrays are typically AM broadcast antennas, where the towers work together to shape the signal in a particular direction.

These figures come from the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database, filed under registration 110653. 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.
