Only if it is sheltered by another structure of greater height.

Otherwise, you are wrong (as usual).

And how do you know how tall it is? Did you get out your trust ruler
and measure it?

You can look up the antenna registeration number. It is listed at whatever
height it is. Seem to remember 98 but not sure if feet or meters. It is
also listed to be painted and lighted to some offical antenna regulation.
Does not say if it is actually painted or lighted, just it meets the
standard.

It's 98 meters - but it is shadowed by another tower just east of it
which is higher. Unfortunately, I don't know who owns that tower.

Cue the old one about how to measure the height of a building with a
barometer, ISTR about 23 ways at the last count!

eg, apart from the obvious one, to time its descent from the top when
dropped under the acceleration of gravity, and finally to go to the
maintenance engineer and offer him the present of a lovely barometer if he'd
let you
look at the architect's drawings!

I guess you landed on your head when you timed how long it took you to
dive off the top of the tower.

Nope, I understood it perfectly.

But you don't seem to understand the difference between 'illusion' and
'allusion'.

ROFLMAO!

And you STILL don't understand the difference between 'allusion' and
'illusion'. But then I know you don't like your ignorance to be pointed
out.
