Tower 611532
Mentone, Texas · Reeves County
Overview
Dating from the 1990s, this tower about 24 km (15 mi) from Mentone, TX is registered as ASR 611532 and reaches 151 m (496 ft) above ground.
Compared with other tower registrations in Texas, it is 90.9% taller than the median of 79 m.
Alltel Corporation holds the registration directly. Carriers own a minority of registered structures — most lease space on towers held by independent tower companies.
Line-of-sight distance from the top of a 151 m structure is about 51 km (31.5 mi) under the standard 4/3-earth model. Actual usable range is normally much shorter, since hills, buildings and foliage all cut into it.
Three other registered structures sit within 7.7 km (4.8 mi), the nearest 7.6 km (4.7 mi) to the WNW.
The site lies 24 km (15 mi) outside Mentone, which is characteristic of structures placed for terrain and line of sight rather than proximity to population.
