Tower 2616565
Fredericksburg, Texas · Gillespie County
Overview
A tower of 152 m (500 ft), structure 2616565 has stood about 12 km (7.1 mi) from Fredericksburg, TX for about 56 years.
The median tower in Texas is 79 m tall across 5,647 registrations, so this one sits 92.4% above the typical height for its type.
Fritz Tower Communications CO., Ltd. 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.
The geometric radio horizon at this height is roughly 51 km (31.6 mi). Treat it as a ceiling rather than a coverage estimate — it assumes flat, clear terrain and ignores power and frequency entirely.
Registration density around this point is 3 other structures within a 5 km radius.
The registration dates from the 1970s, part of the 14,588 structures on file for Texas.

About this record
A freestanding tower whose specific construction is not further specified in the registration.
Record 2616565 is drawn from the FCC ASR weekly file dated 2026-08-23. The database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 ft or near airports — so shorter masts and small cells will not appear.
"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.
