Guyed tower 122830
New Orleans, Louisiana · Orleans Parish
Overview
Registered with the FCC as structure 122830, this guyed tower about 17 km (11 mi) from New Orleans, LA was built in 1987 and rises 315 m (1,034 ft) from the ground.
The median guyed tower in Louisiana is 106 m tall across 705 registrations, so this one sits 196% 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.
From 315 m up, the horizon sits about 73 km (45.4 mi) away. Coverage in the real world falls off well before that limit because of terrain, buildings and the physics of the band in use.
Three other registered structures sit within 1.8 km (1.1 mi), the nearest 1 km (0.6 mi) to the WNW.
It is one of 91 structures on the FCC register in New Orleans, LA, and dates from the 1980s.

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.
