TV Towers on Mountains have to be designed to withstand large wind speeds ( 200 kilometres per hour and more). For such towers the use of reinforced concrete is best, as such towers look much nicer than steel towers.
Guyed masts on high mountains are in many cases not a good choice, as they sway more in the wind and as there is often no site available for basement foundations. Nevertheless, there are some guyed masts on mountains as on Raicberg in Baden-Württemberg and on Kreuzberg near Bischofsheim in Bavaria.
