Guyed tower 611855
Harlingen, Texas · Cameron County
Overview
Dating from the 1990s, this guyed tower in Harlingen, TX is registered as ASR 611855 and reaches 150 m (491 ft) above ground.
Compared with other guyed tower registrations in Texas, it is 46.6% taller than the median of 102 m.
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 150 m has a theoretical sightline of 50 km (31.3 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
Registration density around this point is 10 other structures within a 5 km radius.
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.
These figures come from the FCC's Antenna Structure Registration database, filed under registration 611855. Heights and coordinates are as submitted by the registrant, not independently surveyed.
"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.
