Overview

ASR 2656126 is one of 35 registered structures about 17 km (10 mi) from Monroe, NC. It is a tower standing 152 m (500 ft) above ground.

Among the 4,512 registered structures in North Carolina, it ranks 120th by height, taller than 97.4% of them.

Registration is held by Norsan Media Group of South Carolina. Unlike the tower companies that dominate the 35 registrations in Monroe, NC, this owner appears only once in North Carolina.

Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 152 m has a theoretical sightline of 51 km (31.6 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.

Its nearest neighbour is a lattice tower 4.3 km (2.7 mi) to the WNW, standing 61 m tall.

North Carolina has 1,272 registered structures of this type, and this is one of them.

About this record

A freestanding tower whose specific construction is not further specified in the registration.

Details on this page come from the FCC's public ASR file. The register records the physical structure and its owner; it does not list the antennas mounted on it or the networks they serve.

"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.
