This will get you started:
Public Safety Technology Tools - Frequency Mapping Tool

That will help you find the frequencies and call signs. Once you have the call signs, take them here:
License Search
That will give you the coordinates, tower heights and TX ERP's.
RX Antenna info will not be listed as they are not licensed. You will likely have to contact the licensee and see if you can get RX antenna gain info that way.

Another option is to go here and use the "geosearch" option:
License Search - Advanced License Search

Go to American Tower's website and search for tower 8647 for Pine Hill. They're also at Ben Bolt so look for tower 89290.

ATC has various towers at Pine Hill and IIRC they're the only one leasing space. State of CA and PG&E are the only other towers up there (not counting the lookout).

Ben Bolte is an old AT&T Long Lines MW site purchased by ATC. I don't know of any other tower in its immediate vicinity (last I was there it was dark).

For transmitter info you'll need to take the coords and search on FCC's site.

Thank you for the American Tower reference. It looks like it would provide useful information however as far as I can tell it requires a username and password to access any useful information....

It should not. Most of what you requested is accessible by viewing the tower's brochure. I interact a lot with ATC and I don't have or need a login for their site.
