Guyed tower 122140
Sparta, Georgia · Hancock County
Overview
Structure 122140 in Sparta, GA is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a guyed tower measuring 111 m (365 ft) tall.
Within its county it ranks 3rd out of 20 registered structures by overall height.
Verizon Wireless of the East LP holds the registration directly. Carriers own a minority of registered structures — most lease space on towers held by independent tower companies.
Line-of-sight distance from the top of a 111 m structure is about 43 km (27 mi) under the standard 4/3-earth model. Actual usable range is normally much shorter, since hills, buildings and foliage all cut into it.

The registration dates from the 1990s, 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.
Details on this page come from the FCC's public ASR file. The register records the physical structure and its owner; it does not list the antennas mounted on it or the networks they serve.
"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.
