Overview
Dating from the 1980s, this guyed tower about 14 km (8.6 mi) from Danville, VA is registered as ASR 600037 and reaches 213 m (699 ft) above ground.
Compared with other guyed tower registrations in Virginia, it is 119% taller than the median of 98 m.
Pinnacle 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.
Line-of-sight distance from the top of a 213 m structure is about 60 km (37.4 mi) under the standard 4/3-earth model. Actual usable range is normally much shorter, since hills, buildings and foliage all cut into it.
Its nearest neighbour is a monopole 3.2 km (2.0 mi) to the SSE, standing 60 m tall.
Its county accounts for 43 of the 2,950 structures registered across Virginia.

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.
