Overview

ASR 605918 is a tower registered in Mitchell, SD. It stands 173 m (568 ft) above ground level.

Compared with other tower registrations in South Dakota, it is 90.0% taller than the median of 91 m.

The registrant is Mitchell Broadcasting Ltd Dba = Radio Station Kmit, a broadcaster. Structures registered to broadcasters usually carry the station's own transmitting antenna rather than leased wireless equipment.

At 173 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 54 km (33.7 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.

South Dakota has 404 registered structures of this type, and this is one of them.
