[SixClub] Now here's a tower and rotator (UPDATED)

[Mike Pappas]

Just incase you have trouble going to sleep, here is some light government reading on towers.

http://www.fcc.gov/mb/policy/dtv/lighting.html

http://www.faa.gov/about/office_org/headquarters_offices/ato/service_units/systemops/fs/alaskan/towers/obstruction/media/AC70_7460_1K.pdf

20. STRUCTURES TO BE MARKED AND LIGHTED
Any temporary or permanent structure, including all appurtenances, that exceeds an overall height of 200 feet (61m) above ground level (AGL) or exceeds any obstruction standard contained in 14 CFR part 77, should normally be marked and/or lighted.
