Entercom Tower Morriston is a 411.8 metre high guy-wired aerial mast for the transmission of FM radio and television programs in Morriston, Florida, USA (Geographical coordinates: 29°15'35" N and 82°34'4" W). Entercom Tower Morriston was built in 1987.
Two shorter towers may be a better option the one taller one, for example, or a higher tower might not be useful if the signal is blocked by terrain nor if all the listeners are in a concentrated area and a higher tower cannot pay for itself.
The Petronius Compliant Tower, an oil platform) at 2100 ft or 640 m (to the top of the spire) is the tallest non-guyed structure in existence but it is mostly underwater (taller than all but the Warsaw radio mast).
The CN Tower at 553.33 metres (1,815 ft 4.5 in) is the tallest non-guyed structure on land, though it is shorter than many of the guyed towers.
While commonly used on sailing ships as support for sails, radio masts and towers are also used for telecommunication equipment such as radio antennas, also known as aerials in the UK.
There is often crossover in term usage as some skyscraper use the tower term, some towers use the mast term, and ironically 'skyscraper' has some word heritage from references to high sailboat masts.
Top masts are ranked by pinnacle height; in the case of a tie, the older structure is ranked as higher.
