[PBARC] Tower Info

[E Glenn Wolf Jr]

Regarding broadcast towers with lights out, Fred K9VV suggests that
we first contact the tower owner directly.  How to find them? "It is
easy to find this information at the FCC's Antenna Structure
Registration page (http://tinyurl.com/zpdqh). You can search for
towers by the following search parameters:
* Registration Number, or Antenna Structure Registration (ASR) number
 (Sometimes also called a FCC tower ID number)	
* Coordinates
* City & State 
* Zip Code
Once you find the correct tower, look under the "Owner & Contact
Information" section for contact information."	Fred also reports
that you can check to see if a NOTAM (Notice to Air Men) has been
opened on the tower in question by checking 
https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/geo/radiusForm.html  "It's a bit tricky,
but here's what you have to do:
Enter the following - a 3 letter airport code and the center point
coordinates for a circle search & radius in nautical miles. Then do a
text search for the ASR, sometimes called the FCC tower ID.  (Its a 7
digit number beginning with "1"). If you find the ASR, there is a
NOTAM opened.  If not, no NOTAM has been opened." (Also thanks to
