Last I heard the tallest man made structure was the TV antenna between
Fargo and Grand Forks at 2000 AGL. The vast majority of antennas are
much less than 1000.

Just south of Sacramento, there is a cluster of four 2000-footers (The
southernmost two are 2049.) They're in the delta, so their absolute
height is the same as their AGL height. We've also got a 1500-footer
on top of a 3000-foot ridge between San Jose and Watsonville.

Otherwise, yes.

I took some pics of the one on the ridge between Watsonville and
South County awhile back.

Those ones in the delta are pretty impressive too. At least they
are painted in high visability colors. The one on the ridge is
flat grey.
