What is the FCC definition of a rural area?
John KK9A
Probably FAA is what you want.
One of the presentations by K1VR gives a number like 10,000 people to
make it "not rural"
The problem they are trying to solve is ag aerial applicators (crop
dusters) running into stuff that's hard to see. So a practical
interpretation would be "if you're in an area where they do crop
dusting, you're in a rural area"
(mind you, when the Mediterranean fruit fly was a problem in Los
Angeles, they sprayed pretty much the entire city with Malathion/bait,
and under no stretch of imagination could you call Los Angeles "rural")

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.
