Overview

Structure 2680288 about 14 km (8.5 mi) from Camden, SC is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a guyed tower measuring 122 m (401 ft) tall.

The median guyed tower in South Carolina is 95 m tall across 478 registrations, so this one sits 28.9% above the typical height for its type.

Sba Towers X, 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.

From 122 m up, the horizon sits about 46 km (28.3 mi) away. Coverage in the real world falls off well before that limit because of terrain, buildings and the physics of the band in use.

Its nearest neighbour is a tower 4.4 km (2.7 mi) to the S, standing 90 m tall.

The site lies 14 km (8.5 mi) outside Camden, 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 2680288. 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.
