Holiday Pacific and Southern Tower
The Holiday Pacific and Southern Tower was a 468.7 meters tall guyed mast for FM- and TV-broadcasting located in Holiday, Florida, United States. It was built in 1979.
The tower was unusual in that it was situated in a residential area, surrounded by houses. Generally, the area around guyed masts is not developed into private residences, owing to the likelihood of incidental property damage from ice or grease falling from the guys to the ground below. Another factor is that the high proximal intensity of radio and television transmissions can be a source of electromagnetic interference, affecting the electronic devices of nearby homeowners.
The Holiday Pacific and Southern Tower, although widely reported as having been dismantled in 2012, still stands as of October 2018. It is clearly visible throughout West Pasco and North Pinellas counties. A second, slightly shorter tower did exist next to the Holiday Pacific and Southern Tower in the 2000s and early 2010s. This is the structure that was dismantled.
