Guyed tower 106283
Gallup, New Mexico · McKinley County
Overview
Registered with the FCC as structure 106283, this guyed tower about 9.9 km (6.2 mi) from Gallup, NM was built in 1998 and rises 112 m (366 ft) from the ground.
Within its county it ranks 4th out of 69 registered structures by overall height.
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 112 m up, the horizon sits about 44 km (27 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.
No other registered structure lies within 5 km, which is typical of rural and low-density areas where a single site covers a wide area.
The registration dates from the 1990s, part of the 1,181 structures on file for New Mexico.

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.
