Salem, Oregon · Marion County
Overview
ASR 620398 is one of 87 registered structures about 11 km (6.9 mi) from Salem, OR. It is a tower standing 74 m (243 ft) above ground.
Compared with other tower registrations in Oregon, it is 84.3% taller than the median of 40 m.
The registrant is Oregon Public Broadcasting, a broadcaster. Structures registered to broadcasters usually carry the station's own transmitting antenna rather than leased wireless equipment.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 74 m has a theoretical sightline of 36 km (22 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
Its nearest neighbour is a lattice tower 0 m to the N, standing 63 m tall.
It is one of 87 structures on the FCC register in Salem, OR, and dates from the 1970s.

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.
