Overview

Registered with the FCC as structure 612852, this structure in Laredo, TX was built in 1973 and rises 316 m (1,035 ft) from the ground.

Locally it is the 1st tallest of 96 registered structures in Laredo, TX.

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 316 m has a theoretical sightline of 73 km (45.5 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.

About this record

Details on this page come from the FCC's public ASR file. The register records the physical structure and its owner; it does not list the antennas mounted on it or the networks they serve.

"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.
