Overview

ASR 599465 is one of 22 registered structures about 8.7 km (5.4 mi) from Buckhannon, WV. It is a lattice tower standing 125 m (410 ft) above ground.

Within its county it ranks 1st out of 26 registered structures by overall height.

Array Digital Infrastructure, INC. 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 125 m up, the horizon sits about 46 km (28.6 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.

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.

These figures come from the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database, filed under registration 599465. Heights and coordinates are as submitted by the registrant, not independently surveyed.

"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.
