Guyed tower 2669318
Fairmont, West Virginia · Marion County
Overview
A guyed tower of 88 m (289 ft), structure 2669318 has stood about 11 km (6.8 mi) from Fairmont, WV for about 17 years.
Compared with other guyed tower registrations in West Virginia, it is 5.2% shorter than the median of 93 m.
Sba Towers III 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 39 km (24 mi). Treat it as a ceiling rather than a coverage estimate — it assumes flat, clear terrain and ignores power and frequency entirely.
Three other registered structures sit within 5.9 km (3.7 mi), the nearest 5 km (3.1 mi) to the ENE.
Built roughly 17 years ago, it is one of 33 registered structures serving the Fairmont area.

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.
Source data is the FCC ASR record for structure 2669318, which gives a construction date of 2009. Registrations are updated when a structure changes, so figures reflect the most recent filing rather than continuous monitoring.
"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.
