The WRLP Tower, also known as the Gunn Mountain Tower, is a guyed television mast located in Winchester, New Hampshire, United States. Constructed in 1966, the registered height of the structure is 663 feet (202 m). [2] The tower bears FCC registration number 1023108. [2] It is the tallest man-made structure in the state of New Hampshire.[ citation needed]
WRLP constructed a television mast prior to their debut on May 15, 1957. [3] That tower had to be taken down in August 1966 after a small aircraft struck a guy wire during dense fog, killing both occupants of the aircraft. [4] [5] [6] The existing tower was built as a replacement later that year. [7] WRLP ceased operation on April 9, 1978, [8] but the tower remains standing.
As of September 2004, photographs of the tower showed that the antenna assembly atop the mast had been removed, [9] likely reducing its actual height from its registered height.
