Guyed tower 613528
Abilene, Texas · Taylor County
Overview
The FCC lists structure 613528 about 19 km (12 mi) from Abilene, TX as a guyed tower. Overall height above ground is 161 m, or 527 ft.
Among the 14,588 registered structures in Texas, it ranks 300th by height, taller than 98% of them.
Westex Towers 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.
Height sets an upper bound on reach: about 52 km (32.4 mi) to the radio horizon for equipment mounted at the top. This is a theoretical maximum over flat ground and says nothing about signal strength.
Three other registered structures sit within 4.4 km (2.7 mi), the nearest 796 m to the ENE.
Texas has 2,467 registered structures of this type, and this is one of them.

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.
Record 613528 is drawn from the FCC ASR weekly file dated 2026-08-23. The database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 ft or near airports — so shorter masts and small cells will not appear.
"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.
