Frequently asked questions
What is the tallest tower in the United States?
The tallest constructed FCC-registered structure stands near Galesburg, ND, with a registered overall height of 628 m (2,060 ft) above ground (registration 1038731). The very tallest US structures are broadcast masts for television and radio.
Are the tallest US towers guyed masts?
Most of them are. Steel guy wires anchored around the base carry the sideways wind load, which lets a slender mast reach 600 m without the huge footprint a self-supporting tower of that height would need. In the FCC registry, though, many of the tallest masts are filed under the older general "TOWER" code rather than the guyed-tower code, so the structure type shown here follows the filing, not a site inspection.
Why are canceled or dismantled structures not in this list?
This ranking counts only registrations the FCC lists as constructed. Registrations that were canceled, dismantled, terminated, or granted but never built still have their own pages, but they are left out so the list reflects structures that are standing according to the registry.
