Height and age

The tallest is a guyed tower near Oak Hill at 664 feet, built in 1981. More than in any other decade, 41% were built in the 2010s.
Every registered structure
Sorted tallest first. The registration number opens the FCC record, which shows the exact location and the owner's contact for the structure. A tower on your land that is not in this list is probably under 200 feet and away from airports, so it did not need registering — see why some towers aren't listed.
