Guyed tower 609335
Palestine, Texas · Anderson County
Overview
Dating from the 1990s, this guyed tower in Palestine, TX is registered as ASR 609335 and reaches 136 m (445 ft) above ground.
It is taller than 92.4% of the 14,588 registered structures in Texas, placing it 1110th 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.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 136 m has a theoretical sightline of 48 km (29.8 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
The closest other registered structure is 1.2 km (0.7 mi) to the SSW. In total there are 5 other registered structures within 5 km.
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.
