Overview

Registered with the FCC as structure 2616148, this lattice tower about 11 km (7.0 mi) from Mountain City, TN was built in 2001 and rises 76 m (249 ft) from the ground.

The median lattice tower in Tennessee is 81 m tall across 894 registrations, so this one sits 6.1% below the typical height for its type.

Sba Properties, 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.

From 76 m up, the horizon sits about 36 km (22.3 mi) away. Coverage in the real world falls off well before that limit because of terrain, buildings and the physics of the band in use.

Its nearest neighbour is a tower 3.6 km (2.3 mi) to the ENE, standing 18 m tall.

Ranked 3rd by height among the 23 registered structures in Mountain City, TN, it sits within a network of sites that between them cover the surrounding area.

About this record

An open steel framework that carries heavy antenna loads with less material than a solid pole. Common for broadcast and multi-tenant wireless sites.

These figures come from the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database, filed under registration 2616148. Heights and coordinates are as submitted by the registrant, not independently surveyed.

"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.
