Louisville, Kentucky · Jefferson County
Overview
Dating from the 1980s, this guyed tower about 22 km (14 mi) from Louisville, KY is registered as ASR 608187 and reaches 202 m (663 ft) above ground.
Locally it is the 1st tallest of 170 registered structures about 22 km (14 mi) from Louisville, KY.
Vertical Bridge Cc AM, 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.
Line-of-sight distance from the top of a 202 m structure is about 59 km (36.4 mi) under the standard 4/3-earth model. Actual usable range is normally much shorter, since hills, buildings and foliage all cut into it.
Its nearest neighbour is a tower 2.3 km (1.5 mi) to the NNW, standing 107 m tall.
The registration dates from the 1980s, part of the 2,880 structures on file for Kentucky.

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.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 608187. Height is the overall height above ground including any antennas and lightning rod, which is why it can exceed the height of the supporting structure alone.
"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.
