It is my understanding that strobe lights are required during the daytime. To save money, the strobe lights are often used at night also. It simply costs more to put on two lights. I imagine if 'towers' were out in the parks, they would be very short so they would not require lights at all.
Cell phone antennas are all over Minneapolis if one looks carefully. The roof of NE Middle School has one, the small chimney on St. Anne's Church at 26th and Broadway; towers are often unnecessary in an urban environment. They are even experimenting with using trees.

From: Jay Clark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Radio towers all over the country are protected with red dimmer lights. Show me one study that proves that planes crash more frequently into radio towers protected with red dimmer lights than with white strobe lights.
