The median guyed tower in Indiana is 95 m tall across 423 registrations, so this one sits 160% above the typical height for its type.
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.
