[TowerTalk] Tower height calculator for airports

[kstover at ac0h.net]

Whoopsie,

I estimated my hacienda elevation at 928. It's actually 901.5. Makes a
difference in the Towair calculator.
The 5/23 runway at KDSM is at 915.6 with a 0.4% UP gradient.

Found it.

It seems that my hacienda is inside of a 10,000 foot radius which sticks me
in the 100:1 zone.
9, 028 feet/100 means I'm good up to 90' 3". There goes the owl dammit!

Is there an online calculator for acceptable tower heights within say 2
miles of an airport runway.
I am 1.71 miles south and east of the end of the 5/23 runway at Des Moines
International. 
I am of the opinion that if a plane hits my planned 90 foot antenna support
structure, mast included, it is already crashing and it's not my fault.
