Guyed tower 2712836
Cookeville, Tennessee · Putnam County
Overview
This guyed tower about 17 km (10 mi) from Cookeville, TN carries FCC registration 2712836. Its overall height is 138 m (454 ft) above ground, putting the top at 666 m above sea level.
It is taller than 97.4% of the 3,741 registered structures in Tennessee, placing it 99th statewide.
Southern Towers Bts, LP 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.
At 138 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 49 km (30.1 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.
Registration density around this point is 5 other structures within a 5 km radius.
It is one of 32 structures on the FCC register in Cookeville, TN, and dates from the 2020s.

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.
