Tower 614826
Columbia, South Carolina · Richland County
Overview
A tower of 255 m (835 ft), structure 614826 has stood about 18 km (11 mi) from Columbia, SC for about 43 years.
Locally it is the 3rd tallest of 142 registered structures about 18 km (11 mi) from Columbia, SC.
Vertical Bridge Cc FM, 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.
At 255 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 66 km (40.8 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.
Three other registered structures sit within 547 m, the nearest 179 m to the WNW.
Built roughly 43 years ago, it is one of 142 registered structures serving the Columbia area.
