Motivation

edit

The Antenna Structure Registration Number is a unique number assigned to every communications tower above a certain height in the United States. Federal law requires this number to be posted by the owner on site. This property would enable more accurate matching of Wikipedia and Wikidata’s technical information with technical information in the FCC’s ASR database. Note that, even though the ASRN is the main number by which a communications tower is known, the FCC website doesn’t have a suitable URL format for it. To access a tower’s record, you either enter an ASRN into this search engine or use a permalink that includes its FCC unique system identifier (Q120204177), which is a different unique identifier. – Minh Nguyễn 💬 01:46, 3 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
