Locally it is the 3rd tallest of 41 registered structures about 11 km (7.1 mi) from Canton, OH.
Vertical Bridge S3 Assets, 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.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 120 m has a theoretical sightline of 45 km (28 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
Registration density around this point is 16 other structures within a 5 km radius.
Ohio has 135 registered structures of this type, and this is one of them.

About this record
One element of a 5-tower array. Multi-tower arrays are typically AM broadcast antennas, where the towers work together to shape the signal in a particular direction.
These figures come from the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database, filed under registration 116897. Heights and coordinates are as submitted by the registrant, not independently surveyed.
"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.
