Radio tower sites

[tazz]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody on the board knows any websites that tell who owns radio towers and tower sites ? I have looked everywhere but, I can't seem to have any luck.

There is a tower site just outside of town and they put another new radio tower on it. Probably a cell phoe tower since there is another one already there. I was just wanting to know which company it is.


Any information will be greatly helpful

Thanks and have a great day

Here is what I found on the FCC site. I hope this helps out some....

Does the FCC maintain any records on tower sites throughout the United States? How does the public get this information (if any)?

Answer: The FCC maintains a general tower database on the following structures: (1) any towers over 200 feet, (2) any towers over 20 feet on an existing structure (such as a building, water tower, etc.) and (3) towers that are close to airports that may cause potential hazards to air navigation. The FCC’s licensing databases contain some base site information for Cellular and SMR systems. The general tower database and the Cellular and SMR data that may be on file with the FCC is available in three places:

(1) Cellular licensing information is available in the Public Reference Room of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau's Commercial Wireless Division. The Public Reference Room is located on the fifth floor of 2025 M Street, NW, Washington, DC 20554, telephone (202)418-1350. On-line database searches of cellular licensing information along with queries of the FCC's general tower database can also be accomplished at the Public Reference Room.

(2) People who would like to obtain general tower information through an on-line public access database should call or write Interactive Systems, Inc., 1601 North Kent St., Suite 1103, Arlington, VA 22209, telephone 703-812-8270.

(3) The FCC does not duplicate these records, but has contracted with International Transcription Service, Inc. to provide this service. Requests for copies of information should be addressed to International Transcription Service, Inc. (ITS, Inc.), 2100 M St., NW, Suite 140, Washington, DC 20037, telephone 202-857-3800.

Get the latitude and longitude and do a point-radius search on the FCC database. That will give you all the frequencies within the desired range of that latitude/longitude.

You can also do this in the FCC tower database.

Hey all,


Thanks a bunch for all the information. I was very helpful. I was just wondering if the same cell phone company put up the new tower or there is another company on the same site.


The new tower is a little bigger than the other one and has a white flashing light on top of it. This makes the third huge cell phone tower to be constructed in my area in the past couple of years.

Again thanks to all for the info

FCC - Tower Info

The website for the FCC is www.fcc.gov. When you get there, look around, ALL tower sites were SUPPOSED to be registered with the FCC by sometime in 2002. I think if you look for ASWR or something like that, you'll get what you need. They'll let you search for radio sites in a specific zip code, by licensee, by state, by county....Just surf their site !!! Steve/KB8FAR
