Guyed tower 117393
Van Wert, Ohio · Van Wert County
Overview
Structure 117393 in Van Wert, OH is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a guyed tower measuring 113 m (370 ft) tall.
Among the 6,148 registered structures in Ohio, it ranks 426th by height, taller than 93.1% of them.
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 113 m has a theoretical sightline of 44 km (27.2 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
Its nearest neighbour is a guyed tower 3.1 km (1.9 mi) to the SW, standing 47 m tall.
Built roughly 30 years ago, it is one of 20 registered structures serving the Van Wert area.

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.
Details on this page come from the FCC's public ASR file. The register records the physical structure and its owner; it does not list the antennas mounted on it or the networks they serve.
"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.
