Tower array 111989
Albuquerque, New Mexico · Bernalillo County
Overview
This tower array element about 8.1 km (5.0 mi) from Albuquerque, NM carries FCC registration 111989. Its overall height is 124 m (407 ft) above ground, putting the top at 1627 m above sea level.
The median tower array element in New Mexico is 93 m tall across 26 registrations, so this one sits 32.9% above the typical height for its type.
The structure is registered to Vb Nimbus, LLC, which holds 6 registrations across New Mexico.
At 124 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 46 km (28.5 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.
Three other registered structures sit within 2.6 km (1.6 mi), the nearest 317 m to the ESE.
It is one of 101 structures on the FCC register in Albuquerque, NM, and dates from the 2000s.
