Lattice tower 109290
Santa Fe, New Mexico · Santa Fe County
Overview
This lattice tower in Santa Fe, NM carries FCC registration 109290. Its overall height is 86 m (282 ft) above ground, putting the top at 2124 m above sea level.
Compared with other lattice tower registrations in New Mexico, it is 43.0% taller than the median of 60 m.
Vb Acquisitions LLC holds the registration. Tower companies like this one lease space on their structures to multiple carriers, so the registered owner does not tell you which networks operate here.
At 86 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 38 km (23.7 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.
This is a dense cluster: 10 other registered structures fall within 5 km, the closest just 2.4 km (1.5 mi) to the SE.
Its county accounts for 31 of the 1,181 structures registered across New Mexico.
