Guyed tower 2599009
Snyder, Texas · Scurry County
Overview
Dating from the 1990s, this guyed tower in Snyder, TX is registered as ASR 2599009 and reaches 121 m (396 ft) above ground.
It is taller than 87.9% of the 14,588 registered structures in Texas, placing it 1766th statewide.
Alltel Corporation holds the registration directly. Carriers own a minority of registered structures — most lease space on towers held by independent tower companies.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 121 m has a theoretical sightline of 45 km (28.1 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
Its nearest neighbour is a tower 2.7 km (1.7 mi) to the SW, standing 34 m tall.
It is one of 22 structures on the FCC register in Snyder, TX, and dates from the 1990s.

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.
All measurements shown are taken from FCC registration 2599009. Height is the overall height above ground including any antennas and lightning rod, which is why it can exceed the height of the supporting structure alone.
"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.
