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.
Source data is the FCC ASR record for structure 598977, which gives a construction date of 2018. Registrations are updated when a structure changes, so figures reflect the most recent filing rather than continuous monitoring.
"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.
