Guyed tower 128633
Roanoke, Virginia · Roanoke city
Overview
The FCC lists structure 128633 in Roanoke, VA as a guyed tower. Overall height above ground is 117 m, or 385 ft.
Locally it is the 1st tallest of 33 registered structures in Roanoke, VA.
Vertical Bridge Cc FM, 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.
The geometric radio horizon at this height is roughly 45 km (27.7 mi). Treat it as a ceiling rather than a coverage estimate — it assumes flat, clear terrain and ignores power and frequency entirely.
Its nearest neighbour is a guyed tower 573 m to the SW, standing 117 m tall.
Virginia has 219 registered structures of this type, and this is one of them.

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.
Record 128633 is drawn from the FCC ASR weekly file dated 2026-08-23. The database covers structures that require registration — generally those over 200 ft or near airports — so shorter masts and small cells will not appear.
"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.
