Is there a simple (kiss) way to find out? thanks in advance. cl. If in the U.S.A., contact the FCC and get the information from their database. Elsewise, contact the wireless regulatory agency of the country that the tower is located in. Jonesy In the USA if it has a light on it then it is over 200 FT tall. If there is no light on the tower it is less than 200ft tall. 200 ft is the magic number for the FAA and the FCC for tower lighting. If you can see the section joins then count them an mult by 20 ft. 20 ft is the height of the average tower section. Your tower could use 30 or 40 ft sections though. You will have to inspect the tower up close to estimate the height of a section. Dave N Almost right, over 200 feet or close to an airport or heliport, in which case the max unlighted height slopes to zero at the airport and follows a slope that depends on the type of airport. Title 47, Part 17.21 and Part 17.17 Correct.... But most cell towers are not near airports. Correct... But the protected area is 12.2 kilometers in diameter which means a good number are. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
