The geometric radio horizon at this height is roughly 72 km (44.7 mi). Treat it as a ceiling rather than a coverage estimate — it assumes flat, clear terrain and ignores power and frequency entirely.
Three other registered structures sit within 8.5 km (5.3 mi), the nearest 3.1 km (1.9 mi) to the NNE.
The site lies 16 km (9.9 mi) outside Demopolis, 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.
Record 600980 is drawn from the FCC ASR weekly file dated 2026-08-23. The database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 ft or near airports — so shorter masts and small cells will not appear.
"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.
