Overview
ASR 605359 is one of 25 registered structures in Brookings, SD. It is a tower standing 107 m (350 ft) above ground.
The median tower in South Dakota is 91 m tall across 404 registrations, so this one sits 17.3% above the typical height for its type.
The registrant is Gray Local Media, INC., 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 107 m has a theoretical sightline of 43 km (26.5 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
Three other registered structures sit within 2.2 km (1.4 mi), the nearest 192 m to the E.
