KXJB-TV mast, Television transmitting tower in Traill County, United States
The KXJB-TV mast stands at 2,060 feet tall, making it the tallest structure in the United States and the second-tallest in the Western Hemisphere.
The tower experienced two major collapses: one in 1968 when a helicopter severed guy-wires, and another in 1997 during an ice storm.
The structure represents North Dakota's contribution to broadcasting technology, enabling television transmission across vast distances in the American Midwest.
Located 3.5 miles northeast of Galesburg, the tower maintains an effective radiated power of 285 kW to serve the Fargo and Grand Forks markets.
The tower contains a two-person maintenance elevator and spans across 160 acres of land to accommodate its supporting guy-wire anchors.
