Are there towers of this type in USA?

I believe, there are no towers similiar like this in USA ( perhaps I am wrong)

TV Towers of concrete in rural areas similiar to that on Ochsenkopf Mountain in Germany

Examples


Ochenkopf TV Tower, Ochsenkopf Mountain (Bavaria, http://de.structurae.de/structures/d...fm?ID=s0011594 )


Swiety Krzyz TV Tower, Lysa Gora (Poland), height: 157 metres


Jested TV Tower, Jested Mountain ( Czech), height: 100 metres ( http://en.structurae.de/structures/d...fm?ID=s0000344 )


Schladming TV Tower, Schladming ( Austria)

As you can see there are similiar towers in at least 4 European countries. Are there similiar towers also on mountains in USA? ( I believe not, but who knows?)

Partially guyed towers

Towers consisting of a free-standing tower as basement with a mast guyed at the ground on the top. An example for this is the 120 metre tall tower of SLR Makarki in Poland ( a fmous tower of this type is gerbrandytoren in the Netherlands, but it has a concrete tower as basement and concrete towers are very rare in general in USA)



Top guyed towers

Towers similiar to Wavre TV Tower in Belgium


Wavre TV Tower, height: 232 metres, year of built: 1983
