Overview

This structure about 24 km (15 mi) from Carlsbad, NM carries FCC registration 612394. Its overall height is 218 m (715 ft) above ground, putting the top at 1229 m above sea level.

It is taller than 99% of the 1,181 registered structures in New Mexico, placing it 13th statewide.

Dcp Midstream LP is the registered owner, and this is the only structure it has registered anywhere in New Mexico.

At 218 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 61 km (37.8 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.

Three other registered structures sit within 9.6 km (6.0 mi), the nearest 7.8 km (4.8 mi) to the NNE.

The site lies 24 km (15 mi) outside Carlsbad, which is characteristic of structures placed for terrain and line of sight rather than proximity to population.

About this record

Record 612394 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.
