Marion, Ohio · Marion County
Overview
Registered with the FCC as structure 122546, this guyed tower in Marion, OH was built in 1997 and rises 124 m (408 ft) from the ground.
Within its county it ranks 1st out of 40 registered structures by overall height.
Ohio Rsa 5 Limited Partnership D/b/a Alltel holds the registration directly. Carriers own a minority of registered structures — most lease space on towers held by independent tower companies.

It is one of 28 structures on the FCC register in Marion, OH, 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.
These figures come from the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database, filed under registration 122546. Heights and coordinates are as submitted by the registrant, not independently surveyed.
"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.
