Guyed tower 97071
Rochester, New York · Monroe County
Overview
ASR 97071 is one of 77 registered structures in Rochester, NY. It is a guyed tower standing 183 m (600 ft) above ground.
The median guyed tower in New York is 89 m tall across 220 registrations, so this one sits 106% 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.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 183 m has a theoretical sightline of 56 km (34.6 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
This is a dense cluster: 27 other registered structures fall within 5 km, the closest just 374 m to the NNE.
Built roughly 21 years ago, it is one of 77 registered structures serving the Rochester area.

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.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 97071. Height is the overall height above ground including any antennas and lightning rod, which is why it can exceed the height of the supporting structure alone.
"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.
