Tower array 602136
La Crosse, Wisconsin · La Crosse County
Overview
Dating from the 1980s, this tower array element about 9.6 km (6.0 mi) from La Crosse, WI is registered as ASR 602136 and reaches 96 m (313 ft) above ground.
It is taller than 80.7% of the 3,940 registered structures in Wisconsin, placing it 760th statewide.
The structure is registered to Family Radio, INC., which holds 7 registrations across Wisconsin.
From 96 m up, the horizon sits about 40 km (25 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.
The closest other registered structure is 128 m to the WNW. In total there are 7 other registered structures within 5 km.
The site lies 9.6 km (6.0 mi) outside La Crosse, which is characteristic of structures placed for terrain and line of sight rather than proximity to population.

About this record
One element of a 5-tower array. Multi-tower arrays are typically AM broadcast antennas, where the towers work together to shape the signal in a particular direction.
These figures come from the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database, filed under registration 602136. 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.
