Guyed tower 2620642
Knoxville, Tennessee · Knox County
Overview
Structure 2620642 in Knoxville, TN is recorded in the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database as a guyed tower measuring 468 m (1,534 ft) tall.
The median guyed tower in Tennessee is 96 m tall across 252 registrations, so this one sits 389% above the typical height for its type.
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 468 m has a theoretical sightline of 89 km (55.4 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
Registration density around this point is 39 other structures within a 5 km radius.
The registration dates from the 2000s, part of the 3,741 structures on file for Tennessee.

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.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 2620642. Height is the overall height above ground including any antennas and lightning rod, which is why it can exceed the height of the supporting structure alone.
"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.
