The FCC lists structure 121379 in Thomson, GA as a tower. Overall height above ground is 102 m, or 336 ft.
The median tower in Georgia is 79 m tall across 2,144 registrations, so this one sits 29.3% above the typical height for its type.
The registrant is Camellia City Communications INC Dba = Wtho Wtwa Radio, a broadcaster. Structures registered to broadcasters usually carry the station's own transmitting antenna rather than leased wireless equipment.
At 102 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 42 km (25.9 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.

About this record
A freestanding tower whose specific construction is not further specified in the registration.
Source data is the FCC ASR record for structure 121379, which gives a construction date of 2012. Registrations are updated when a structure changes, so figures reflect the most recent filing rather than continuous monitoring.
"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.
