List of masts

A mast is a man-made support structure, commonly used on sailing ships as support for sails, or on land as radio masts and towers used to support telecommunication equipment such as radio antennas ("aerials" in the UK). This is a list of masts 300 meters or higher.
Terminology
There is often ambiguity between the terms tower and mast. A tower is a self-supporting or cantilevered structure, while a mast is held up by stays or guys. (See List of towers). Both towers and masts have limited floor space and are non-building structures, as opposed to regular buildings which have greater floor space for occupancy. The terminology is further confused through misuse. Skyscrapers are often referred to as towers (See List of tallest buildings in the world) and some towers use the term mast. Ironically, skyscraper has some etymology from references to high sailboat masts.
Notes
- The list is almost exclusively of radio masts, though a few used for other purposes are present (for example, such as the BREN-Tower.)
- Masts are ranked by overall pinnacle height, and in the case of a tie, the older structure is ranked first. Dismantled and collapsed masts are listed separately.
- Most of the taller masts are located in the United States, where a prevalence of masts of around 2000 feet (609.6 m) in height is the result of special rules in that country limiting structures and objects taller than 2063 feet.
- The Petronius Compliant Tower is an oil platform standing 2100 ft or 640 m (to the top of the spire) and is the tallest non-guyed structure in existence but is mostly underwater. It is taller than all but the collapsed Warszawa Radio Mast. However, it is not a mast by most definitions.
