Guyed tower 2705828
Clanton, Alabama · Chilton County
Overview
Dating from the 2010s, this guyed tower about 14 km (8.9 mi) from Clanton, AL is registered as ASR 2705828 and reaches 128 m (420 ft) above ground.
The median guyed tower in Alabama is 98 m tall across 769 registrations, so this one sits 31.3% above the typical height for its type.
The registered owner is Alabama Power Company. Utilities register structures used for their own operational communications along transmission and distribution networks.

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.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 2705828. Height is the overall height above ground including any antennas and lightning rod, which is why it can exceed the height of the supporting structure alone.
"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.
