Eau Claire, Wisconsin · Eau Claire County
Overview
This guyed tower about 10 km (6.3 mi) from Eau Claire, WI carries FCC registration 617331. Its overall height is 152 m (497 ft) above ground, putting the top at 500 m above sea level.

The site lies 10 km (6.3 mi) outside Eau Claire, which is characteristic of structures placed for terrain and line of sight rather than proximity to population.

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 617331 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.
