Mooresville, North Carolina · Iredell County
Overview
Structure 2689709 about 9.3 km (5.8 mi) from Mooresville, NC is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a guyed tower measuring 360 m (1,180 ft) tall.
Of the 22 structures registered about 9.3 km (5.8 mi) from Mooresville, NC, this is the 2nd tallest.
The registrant is Davidson County Broadcasting, INC., a broadcaster. Structures registered to broadcasters usually carry the station's own transmitting antenna rather than leased wireless equipment.
Height sets an upper bound on reach: about 78 km (48.6 mi) to the radio horizon for equipment mounted at the top. This is a theoretical maximum over flat ground and says nothing about signal strength.
Three other registered structures sit within 6 km (3.7 mi), the nearest 3.8 km (2.4 mi) to the ESE.
The site lies 9.3 km (5.8 mi) outside Mooresville, 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.
