Okeechobee, Florida · Okeechobee County
Overview
Dating from the 1990s, this guyed tower about 18 km (11 mi) from Okeechobee, FL is registered as ASR 607531 and reaches 143 m (470 ft) above ground.
Compared with other guyed tower registrations in Florida, it is 44.2% taller than the median of 99 m.
FCC records list L3harris Technologies, INC. as the registered owner of this structure.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 143 m has a theoretical sightline of 49 km (30.6 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
Its nearest neighbour is a tower 6 km (3.7 mi) to the WSW, standing 93 m tall.
The site lies 18 km (11 mi) outside Okeechobee, 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.
These figures come from the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database, filed under registration 607531. Heights and coordinates are as submitted by the registrant, not independently surveyed.
"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.
