 KVLY-TV mast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The KVLY-TV mast (formerly the KTHI-TV mast) is a television transmitting tower in North Dakota, USA, used by Fargo station KVLY channel 11.
The mast was surpassed in height by 18 m (57 ft) in 1974 by the Warszawa radio mast near Konstantynow, Poland, but that collapsed on August 8, 1991, making the KVLY mast again the tallest structure on land (The 3,250 ft tall Mars Platform currently holds the tallest structure record).
Some time after its completion, the Federal Aviation Administration imposed a limit of 2,063 ft, based on this tower's height, on future construction; consequently, no taller structures may legally be built in the U.S. at present.

This is not the case for mast antennas, for masts with aerials for VLF, LF, MF and SW or for masts situated close to such aerials.
So there are often guys used at some newer mast antennas which are fixed with insulators at the mast construction and grounded via coils, which are situated next to the anchor blocks at which the guys are fixed on insulators.
At most mast antennas steel guys are used, which are divided by insulators in multiple sections, smaller than a fifth of radiated wavelength.
