Guyed tower 124096
Ville Platte, Louisiana · Evangeline Parish
Overview
Structure 124096 in Ville Platte, LA is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a guyed tower measuring 126 m (414 ft) tall.
Compared with other guyed tower registrations in Louisiana, it is 18.6% taller than the median of 106 m.
Crown Castle South 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.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 126 m has a theoretical sightline of 46 km (28.8 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
Its nearest neighbour is a tower 1.5 km (0.9 mi) to the SSW, standing 98 m tall.
The registration dates from the 1990s, part of the 3,710 structures on file for Louisiana.

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.
These figures come from the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database, filed under registration 124096. Heights and coordinates are as submitted by the registrant, not independently surveyed.
"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.
