Overview

Structure 100786 about 17 km (11 mi) from DeLand, FL is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a guyed tower measuring 457 m (1,499 ft) tall.

Among the 6,641 registered structures in Florida, it ranks 23rd by height, taller than 99.7% of them.

Registration is held by American Towers LLC, which owns 5 of the structures registered in DeLand, FL.

Line-of-sight distance from the top of a 457 m structure is about 88 km (54.7 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 lattice tower 5.4 km (3.4 mi) to the E, standing 84 m tall.

The site lies 17 km (11 mi) outside DeLand, 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.

All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 100786. 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.
