I live in Passaic County in New Jersey and I can see a hugh red and white
antenna east of my location. I can't tell how far it is but it is far.
From Clifton I can see Garfield and the antenna is in that direction.

Anybody have any clues?

The USGS topo map for the area may show the tower, although newer
towers or changes in ownership will not be there.

The FCC has a database of broadcast towers, IIRC, somewhere on their
website.

For some odd reason, pilots pay attention to large structures, and the
FAA or pilot info may include this.

You can plot the location more exactly by taking a bearing from one
known location, then a second bearing from a different one, and laying
that out on a good map.

Happy trails,
