Guyed tower 618595
Galveston, Texas · Galveston County
Overview
Registered with the FCC as structure 618595, this guyed tower about 23 km (14 mi) from Galveston, TX was built in 1993 and rises 127 m (418 ft) from the ground.
Of the 21 structures registered about 23 km (14 mi) from Galveston, TX, this is the 1st tallest.
Ccatt 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 127 m up, the horizon sits about 47 km (28.9 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 monopole 1.3 km (0.8 mi) to the W, standing 50 m tall.
The registration dates from the 1990s, part of the 14,588 structures on file for Texas.

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.
Details on this page come from the FCC's public ASR file. The register records the physical structure and its owner; it does not list the antennas mounted on it or the networks they serve.
"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.
