Fulton, Mississippi · Itawamba County
Overview
A guyed tower of 125 m (409 ft), structure 123616 has stood about 20 km (12 mi) from Fulton, MS for about 30 years.
Among the 3,781 registered structures in Mississippi, it ranks 445th by height, taller than 88.3% of them.

At 125 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 46 km (28.6 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.
Three other registered structures sit within 3.2 km (2.0 mi), the nearest 119 m to the NW.
The site lies 20 km (12 mi) outside Fulton, which is characteristic of structures placed for terrain and line of sight rather than proximity to population.

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.
Source data is the FCC ASR record for structure 123616, which gives a construction date of 1996. Registrations are updated when a structure changes, so figures reflect the most recent filing rather than continuous monitoring.
"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.
