I think somone , smarter than me , will have a answer,,,, "you are
driving down the hiway and see a cell/antenna tower, it is off the
hiway but you don't know how far,,,, and you would like to know how
tall the tower is,,,????? Is there a simple (kiss) way to find out?
thanks in advance. cl.

This can be done using a barometer.

Drop the barometer from the top of the tower, timing the fall.
The tower height in feet is 16 times the square of the time in seconds.

Alternatively, offer to give the barometer to the tower's owner in exchange
for telling you the height of the tower.
