[TowerTalk] FAA rural tower registration

I live in a similar situation, although I have very tall (80+ ft tall)
trees on my property so I figure they'd hit a tree before my tower
(only 50').  Personally, I'd put a light on top, and paint it pink,
and hope the pilot isn't color blind.

Try this https://wireless2.fcc.gov/ASRManager/login.faces
You'll have to have your FCC FRN info to log in and take care of it,
but that's the web form.  I don't know how accurate the location has
to be, it may require a surveyor come out and determine lat/lon and
height.  My surveyor does that for mountain top commercial towers
occasionally.  It may also require an EIS (Environmental Impact
Study), but as a ham, you may be able to get around that.

Best of luck.
