Overview

Structure 121020 in Ellijay, GA is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a guyed tower measuring 92 m (303 ft) tall.

The median guyed tower in Georgia is 98 m tall across 826 registrations, so this one sits 5.2% below the typical height for its type.

The structure is registered to Carriage Radio, LLC, which holds 2 registrations across Georgia.

Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 92 m has a theoretical sightline of 40 km (24.6 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.

Its nearest neighbour is a tower 2.2 km (1.4 mi) to the E, standing 79 m tall.

The registration dates from the 1980s, part of the 5,701 structures on file for Georgia.

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 121020. 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.
