Guyed tower 105162
Floresville, Texas · Wilson County
Overview
This guyed tower about 13 km (8.3 mi) from Floresville, TX carries FCC registration 105162. Its overall height is 138 m (453 ft) above ground, putting the top at 275 m above sea level.
It is taller than 92.9% of the 14,588 registered structures in Texas, placing it 1041st statewide.
Registration is held by American Towers LLC, which owns 5 of the structures registered in Floresville, TX.
At 138 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 48 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.
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 13 km (8.3 mi) outside Floresville, 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.
Source data is the FCC ASR record for structure 105162, which gives a construction date of 1990. Registrations are updated when a structure changes, so figures reflect the most recent filing rather than continuous monitoring.
"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.
