The 1 foot in 100 is a rule to avoid registering the tower.  It the proposed
tower is above this rule, or 200 feet or higher it MUST be registered.  Once
registered (approved), the information is placed on the maps used by pilots
to plan their flight so as to avoid obstacles such as towers.

I want to put up a 60 foot tower at 32:47:30.797 N, 98:03:28.370.  This is
1800 feet northeast of runway 13/31 at the Mineral Wells, Texas airport.
The airport manager, K5MWL, told me that where I am located anything up to
75 feet in height would be 'no problem'.  I am concerned about the FCC rule
about 1 foot of height for every 100 feet from the airport.  I don't want to
invest time and money into the installation only to have the FAA/FCC tell me
later that I am in violation.

  The way I read the FCC rule in Part 17 (17.6) of 47 CFR, I need to notify
the FAA and possibly get a waiver from them to present to the FCC.  I don't
fully understand all this. Can anyone tell me what I need to do?
