Overview

ASR 2660256 is a tower registered about 13 km (8.3 mi) from Sanford, NC. It stands 152 m (500 ft) above ground level.

Locally it is the 2nd tallest of 39 registered structures about 13 km (8.3 mi) from Sanford, NC.

The registrant is Wwgp Broadcasting Corporation, a broadcaster. Structures registered to broadcasters usually carry the station's own transmitting antenna rather than leased wireless equipment.

At 152 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 51 km (31.6 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.

No other registered structure lies within 5 km, which is typical of rural and low-density areas where a single site covers a wide area.

Built roughly 18 years ago, it is one of 39 registered structures serving the Sanford area.
