Guyed tower 104050
Navasota, Texas · Grimes County
Overview
Registered with the FCC as structure 104050, this guyed tower in Navasota, TX was built in 1996 and rises 148 m (485 ft) from the ground.
Locally it is the 2nd tallest of 33 registered structures in Navasota, TX.
Crown Castle Gt Company, 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.
Line-of-sight distance from the top of a 148 m structure is about 50 km (31.1 mi) under the standard 4/3-earth model. Actual usable range is normally much shorter, since hills, buildings and foliage all cut into it.
This is a dense cluster: 13 other registered structures fall within 5 km, the closest just 119 m to the NNW.
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.
