Guyed tower 112605
Fairbanks, Alaska · Fairbanks North Star Borough
Overview
A guyed tower of 46 m (151 ft), structure 112605 has stood about 10 km (6.4 mi) from Fairbanks, AK for about 17 years.
Compared with other guyed tower registrations in Alaska, it is 50.8% taller than the median of 31 m.
University of Alaska Dba = Kuac is the registered owner, and this is the only structure it has registered anywhere in Alaska.
At 46 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 28 km (17.4 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.
Registration density around this point is 10 other structures within a 5 km radius.
It is one of 122 structures on the FCC register in Fairbanks, AK, and dates from the 2000s.

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 112605 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.
