Guyed tower 611941
Kinston, North Carolina · Lenoir County
Overview
Dating from the 1990s, this guyed tower about 8.3 km (5.2 mi) from Kinston, NC is registered as ASR 611941 and reaches 95 m (311 ft) above ground.
The median guyed tower in North Carolina is 98 m tall across 598 registrations, so this one sits 2.8% below 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 95 m has a theoretical sightline of 40 km (24.9 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
Its nearest neighbour is a lattice tower 3 km (1.9 mi) to the NW, standing 79 m tall.
It is one of 32 structures on the FCC register in Kinston, NC, and dates from the 1990s.

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 611941. 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.
