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.
