Guyed tower 2606875
Okeechobee, Florida · Okeechobee County
Overview
Structure 2606875 about 15 km (9.4 mi) from Okeechobee, FL is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a guyed tower measuring 148 m (485 ft) tall.
Compared with other guyed tower registrations in Florida, it is 48.7% taller than the median of 99 m.
American 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.
From 148 m up, the horizon sits about 50 km (31.1 mi) away. Coverage in the real world falls off well before that limit because of terrain, buildings and the physics of the band in use.
Its nearest neighbour is a tower 968 m to the E, standing 93 m tall.
The registration dates from the 1990s, part of the 6,641 structures on file for Florida.

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 2606875. 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.
