The median guyed tower in South Carolina is 95 m tall across 478 registrations, so this one sits 2.8% above the typical height for its type.

Line-of-sight distance from the top of a 98 m structure is about 41 km (25.3 mi) under the standard 4/3-earth model. Actual usable range is normally much shorter, since hills, buildings and foliage all cut into it.
No other registered structure lies within 5 km, which is typical of rural and low-density areas where a single site covers a wide area.
The site lies 12 km (7.7 mi) outside Bishopville, 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.
These figures come from the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database, filed under registration 103732. 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.
