Overview

A guyed tower of 152 m (497 ft), structure 610747 has stood about 15 km (9.4 mi) from Grand Rapids, MN for about 45 years.

The median guyed tower in Minnesota is 97 m tall across 662 registrations, so this one sits 55.9% above the typical height for its type.

At 152 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 51 km (31.5 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.

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.

Record 610747 is drawn from the FCC ASR weekly file dated 2026-08-23. The database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 ft or near airports — so shorter masts and small cells will not appear.

"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.
