Tower array 615911
Port Arthur, Texas · Jefferson County
Overview
ASR 615911 is a tower array element registered in Port Arthur, TX. It stands 146 m (480 ft) above ground level.
The median tower array element in Texas is 81 m tall across 258 registrations, so this one sits 80.4% above the typical height for its type.
The registrant is Radio Maria, INC., a broadcaster. Structures registered to broadcasters usually carry the station's own transmitting antenna rather than leased wireless equipment.
At 146 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 50 km (31 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.
Three other registered structures sit within 2.2 km (1.3 mi), the nearest 62 m to the WSW.
Its county accounts for 142 of the 14,588 structures registered across Texas.

About this record
One element of a 2-tower array. Multi-tower arrays are typically AM broadcast antennas, where the towers work together to shape the signal in a particular direction.
Record 615911 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.
