  List of masts information - Search.com
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).
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.
Masts are ranked by overall pinnacle height, and in the case of a tie, the older structure is ranked first.

A small observation deck on the top of super tall guyed mast, a one-story building with a massive mast on top which is classified as a structural detail, and so on are examples of structures that pose problems for existing measurement classifications.
For radio systems in the longwave and mediumwave range the value of the height should be in the range between a sixth and five eighth of the wavelength with favourite values at the quarter or the half of the radiated wavelength.
For longwave transmitters, however, the construction of masts with heights of half-wave wavelength is, because of economical reasons (and perhaps problems with the flight safety), in most cases impossible.
