  List of masts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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).
Masts are ranked by overall pinnacle height, and in the case of a tie, the older structure is ranked first.
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 2000 feet.

 Winter Hill transmitting station - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is one of the tallest masts in the country, the tower at Belmont is taller at 385 m (1283 ft).
Eight external platforms encircle the mast along its height, these can be accessed from the inside of the mast, and are used to maintain the supporting wires, and the ILR antennas.
The mast has an average coverage of 50 miles circumference, although this is a theoretical figure, it all depends on having a "line of sight" reception path to the transmitter.

 Belmont Transmitter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Belmont Transmitter is a television and radio mast, situated close to the village of Donington on Bain, near Market Rasen and Louth in Lincolnshire, England (grid reference TF217837).
At 1,265 feet (385 m), it is the tallest structure in the UK (and in the European Union).
(An identical mast was constructed in 1964 at Emley Moor near Huddersfield in Yorkshire, but that mast collapsed due to guy failure caused by icing and high winds on March 19, 1969.) In 1967 meteorological equipment was added to the mast extending its height to 1,272 ft (388 m).

 List of masts - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Top masts are ranked by pinnacle height; in the case of a tie, the older structure is ranked as higher.
Most of the taller masts are located in the U.S., and the large number of masts of around 2000 feet in height is the result of special US rules limiting structures and objects that go above 2000 feet.
Once again, the list includes guyed masts, almost exclusively radio masts, though a few for other purposes are present (for example, the BREN-Tower.) Self-supporting masts are covered as towers under the List of towers, and the borderline cases are mentioned separately (hybrid designs, under water, etc.) elsewhere on this page.

Later we heard that the transmitter mast at Emley Moor had collapsed, due to the weight of ice on the guy wires.
Belmont needed a different channel group array, so things weren't that simple.
Before long the IBA had a temporary transmitter in place for channel 10 ITV, but the transmitting aerials were much lower than the old mast and the power was much less, so everyone had a very snowy picture.
