Guyed tower 2608753
Mission, Texas · Hidalgo County
Overview
The FCC lists structure 2608753 in Mission, TX as a guyed tower. Overall height above ground is 93 m, or 305 ft.
It is taller than 69.5% of the 14,588 registered structures in Texas, placing it 4453rd statewide.
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.
At 93 m, the radio horizon for an antenna at the top of this structure works out to roughly 40 km (24.7 mi). That is a geometric limit for flat, unobstructed terrain — real coverage depends on transmit power, frequency, terrain and what is in the way.
Three other registered structures sit within 2 km (1.2 mi), the nearest 1.6 km (1.0 mi) to the SSE.
Ranked 3rd by height among the 27 registered structures in Mission, TX, it sits within a network of sites that between them cover the surrounding area.

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 2608753, which gives a construction date of 2000. 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.
