Guyed tower 103947
Foley, Alabama · Baldwin County
Overview
Registered with the FCC as structure 103947, this guyed tower in Foley, AL was built in 1995 and rises 126 m (414 ft) from the ground.
It is taller than 92.7% of the 4,539 registered structures in Alabama, placing it 334th statewide.
Pinnacle Towers 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 126 m structure is about 46 km (28.8 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 1.1 km (0.7 mi) to the ESE, standing 124 m tall.
Built roughly 31 years ago, it is one of 25 registered structures serving the Foley area.

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.
Details on this page come from the FCC's public ASR file. The register records the physical structure and its owner; it does not list the antennas mounted on it or the networks they serve.
"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.
