Is there a reference to Sprint towers across the US?

Thanks in advance.

www.sprintsitesusa.com

A word of caution: This site lists ONLY towers that are owned by Sprint.
There are a significant number of cell sites that aren't listed here
because in those instances, Sprint leases the tower from another
company, often a competing a cell company who has decided to make money
by allow competitors to lease space there. Likewise, Sprint leases
tower space on its cell sites to other companies and earns revenue from
that.

Not only that but only actual 'towers' are listed on
sprintsitesusa.com. There are many cell sites that are not in 'tower'
form and therefore would not be listed. A few examples of these would
be antennas attached to street lights, utility poles, billboards, water
tanks, building rooftops, etc.

Thanks for the reply. Just what I was looking for.

Yes Sprint does register a lot of their towers that are under 200 ft.
even though they are not required to.

Be aware that towers are only required to be registered with the FCC
when they exceed air safety notification limits. Typically this is
200 ft.

And the FCC antenna structure registration requirements only require
the tower owner to submit a registration. In the case of Sprint, this
means that only sites where the tower is in excess of 200' ft or
requires notification for air safety reason otherwise AND is owned by
Sprint will you be able to find their site locations.

Sprint is actually fairly good about registering sites they don't have
to, but noone other than Sprint has the list of all their cell sites.

This map does not work for the Los Angeles area. What is wrong?
