Overview

Structure 602178 in Tacoma, WA is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a tower measuring 141 m (463 ft) tall.

Among the 2,527 registered structures in Washington, it ranks 28th by height, taller than 98.9% of them.

Registration is held by Prc Tacoma - I LLC. Unlike the tower companies that dominate the 70 registrations in Tacoma, WA, this owner appears only once in Washington.

From 141 m up, the horizon sits about 49 km (30.4 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 lattice tower 50 m to the WSW, standing 58 m tall.

The registration dates from the 1970s, part of the 2,527 structures on file for Washington.

About this record

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

Details on this page come from the FCC's public ASR file. The register records the physical structure and its owner; it does not list the antennas mounted on it or the networks they serve.

"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.
