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 110312. 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.
