Overview

Structure 127732 in Carolina, PR is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a tower measuring 70 m (230 ft) tall.

Among the 759 registered structures in Puerto Rico, it ranks 188th by height, taller than 75.3% of them.

The structure is registered to Radio Vida INC, which holds 2 registrations across Puerto Rico.

Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 70 m has a theoretical sightline of 35 km (21.4 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.

This is a dense cluster: 17 other registered structures fall within 5 km, the closest just 1.1 km (0.7 mi) to the SSW.

The registration dates from the 1990s, part of the 759 structures on file for Puerto Rico.

About this record

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

All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 127732. Height is the overall height above ground including any antennas and lightning rod, which is why it can exceed the height of the supporting structure alone.

"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.
