Overview

ASR 604912 is one of 29 registered structures about 14 km (8.8 mi) from Sonora, TX. It is a tower standing 159 m (520 ft) above ground.

Among the 14,588 registered structures in Texas, it ranks 312th by height, taller than 97.9% of them.

Wilbur L Anderson INC Dba = Western Towers 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.

Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 159 m has a theoretical sightline of 52 km (32.2 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.

Three other registered structures sit within 11 km (6.6 mi), the nearest 8.1 km (5.0 mi) to the NNW.

Texas has 5,647 registered structures of this type, and this is one of them.

About this record

A freestanding tower whose specific construction is not further specified in the registration.

All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 604912. Height is the overall height above ground including any antennas and lightning rod, which is why it can exceed the height of the supporting structure alone.

"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.
