So my take in looking over the ARRL "readers digest" article & the
Dayton presentation where they state:
"The new FAA regulations, implemented in the summer of 2019 now require
that the only towers less than 200 feet tall that have to be painted and
lighted are/meteorological aids and those within the glide slope of an
airport or heliport./The remainder of such towers/in rural or
agricultural areas lower than 200 feet need to only/be included in
an FAA-maintained database, which will be updated by the owners of such
towers."
Is that I will have to register my 2-3 towers in the FAA database since
I live in a rural area (farmland all around me) and the towers are
removed away from any buildings etc.

Since that article is three years old, this article may be more up to date.
Most hams do not have to worry.

I beg forgiveness for not keeping up on this but was there not some talk
several months ago about a radical new requirement that all towers over
even a modest height of around 50' or so be marked with paint or lights?
Is this in fact a requirement and if so can someone point to a URL that
defines the requirements etc. TU es 73
