Frequently asked questions
What is the tallest tower in the United States?
The tallest FCC-registered structure is a self-supporting tower near Galesburg, ND with a registered overall height of 628 m (2,060 ft) (registration 1038731). US broadcast masts of this class are the tallest man-made structures in the western hemisphere.
Why are the tallest US structures all guyed masts?
Guyed masts reach extreme heights cheaply because steel guy wires carry the lateral loads — a ~600 m self-supporting tower would need an enormous base. Broadcasters build them tall to maximize over-the-horizon VHF/UHF coverage across the flat Plains states.
