A Mast is a man-made support structure, commonly used on Sailing Ship s as support for Sail s, or on land as Radio Masts And Towers used to support Telecommunication equipment such as Radio Antennas ("aerials" in the UK ). Some masts are among the tallest man-made structures. OVERVIEW See Also: Radio masts and towers LIST OF MASTS Virtually all mast structures are pure guyed masts. 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. 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. (As a result, very few things go above this altitude). 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. (Updated to 2004, not guaranteed to be accurate or up to date) 600 in list) (Destroyed towers are noted, light red tint given to masts that are no longer extant ) See Radio Masts And Towers for more info on masts and related structures. Masts taller than 600 meters Masts 500 to 600 meters tall Masts 400 to 500 meters tall Masts 300 to 400 meters tall Masts 200 to 300 meters tall Temporary list of miscellaneous shorter masts Masts shorter than 200 meters Collapsed or dismantled masts PARTIALLY GUYED STRUCTURES The following towers consist of a free standing basement tower with a guyed radio mast on the top. The basement can be made of reinforced concrete or of lattice steel. SEE ALSO
