[TowerTalk] TowerTalk Digest, Vol 202, Issue 26

[Gedas]

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.

This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
