Overview

Dating from the 2010s, this guyed tower about 8.6 km (5.3 mi) from Atmore, AL is registered as ASR 2687775 and reaches 130 m (425 ft) above ground.

Locally it is the 2nd tallest of 25 registered structures about 8.6 km (5.3 mi) from Atmore, AL.

Horvath Towers III, LLC holds the registration. Tower companies like this one lease space on their structures to multiple carriers, so the registered owner does not tell you which networks operate here.

Line-of-sight distance from the top of a 130 m structure is about 47 km (29.1 mi) under the standard 4/3-earth model. Actual usable range is normally much shorter, since hills, buildings and foliage all cut into it.

Its nearest neighbour is a tower 4.6 km (2.8 mi) to the E, standing 129 m tall.

The site lies 8.6 km (5.3 mi) outside Atmore, which is characteristic of structures placed for terrain and line of sight rather than proximity to population.

About this record

A slender mast held upright by tensioned cables anchored around it. The cheapest way to go very tall, which is why most structures above 300 m are guyed.

These figures come from the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database, filed under registration 2687775. 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.
