Built in 2000, it is the tallest structure in California and the fourth tallest in the world (two TV towers near Fargo, ND are about 15 feet higher, and the Burj Khalifa skyscraper built in Dubai in 2009 is the highest).

  • I'm pretty sure it was built before 2000 as I made several jumps there in the early to mid '90s.
  • Located an aerial photo dated June 1993 showing the tower. Perhaps the tower was finally completed in 2000? The FCC website gives a completion date of 2000.
