Guyed tower 600459
Green Bay, Wisconsin · Brown County
Overview
Registered with the FCC as structure 600459, this guyed tower in Green Bay, WI was built in 1986 and rises 94 m (308 ft) from the ground.
Within its county it ranks 18th out of 118 registered structures by overall height.
Vb Nimbus, 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.
Using the standard radio-horizon formula, an antenna at 94 m has a theoretical sightline of 40 km (24.8 mi). Terrain and obstructions reduce this in practice, often substantially.
The closest other registered structure is 18 m to the W. In total there are 11 other registered structures within 5 km.
The registration dates from the 1980s, part of the 3,940 structures on file for Wisconsin.

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 600459. 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.
