Overview
Registered with the FCC as structure 127145, this tower about 20 km (12 mi) from Richmond, VA was built in 1997 and rises 373 m (1,222 ft) from the ground.
Compared with other tower registrations in Virginia, it is 456% taller than the median of 67 m.
Pinnacle 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.
From 373 m up, the horizon sits about 80 km (49.4 mi) away. Coverage in the real world falls off well before that limit because of terrain, buildings and the physics of the band in use.
Its nearest neighbour is a tower 98 m to the E, standing 81 m tall.
Ranked 2nd by height among the 107 registered structures in Richmond, VA, it sits within a network of sites that between them cover the surrounding area.

About this record
A freestanding tower whose specific construction is not further specified in the registration.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 127145. 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.
