That really depends on locations I would think .. I’m not familiar with US based regulations on this but in other countries you sometimes have to put lighting and/or paint on under 200ft
Just suggesting that each location a tower goes should be verified as it’s awful damn expensive go back later and paint a tower ;) What’s really funny I recall at previous job is we had a paint a tower (190’) before it could be put up … nothing around that tower for probably 50 miles .. and we had to put strobe on top too We put up another 190’ tower that’s on a circular approach path to a municipal airport and nothing was required!! The airport is about 5-6 miles away... > On Oct 24, 2016, at 12:50 PM, Ken Hohhof <af...@kwisp.com> wrote: > > I realize at <200 ft it doesn’t need lighting, but what about paint?
