Structure 611228 in Arlington, VA is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a lattice tower measuring 88 m (290 ft) tall.
Compared with other lattice tower registrations in Virginia, it is 16.0% taller than the median of 76 m.
American Towers LLC 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.
Line-of-sight distance from the top of a 88 m structure is about 39 km (24.1 mi) under the standard 4/3-earth model. Actual usable range is normally much shorter, since hills, buildings and foliage all cut into it.
Its nearest neighbour is a tower 96 m to the ESE, standing 139 m tall.
It is one of 22 structures on the FCC register in Arlington, VA, and dates from the 2000s.

About this record
An open steel framework that carries heavy antenna loads with less material than a solid pole. Common for broadcast and multi-tenant wireless sites.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 611228. 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.
