Hello, Did I mention this tower is going to be 4 miles due West of the South end of the runway, in other misspelled words, perpendicular to the runway. Thank God for spel chek!

Yep. They probably went by the slide slope (or whatever the other side of that is called - the rise slope?) and it came out to 190 feet at that distance. > They also required that it have red lights at > night as well as being painted! Being painted has nothing to do with the night lighting. It only pertains to daytime - paint or lit. There are some that are both, but only because the owners decided it was better to light it and forget maintenance on the paint, so the paint is faded below standard. But, as long as it's lit, it doesn't matter. There certainly are cases where even below 200' the regulations apply. It's funny to see a power tower painted and lit while others on the same line, even higher in elevation, do not have to be. Same with water towers - the orange and white checkerboards are a hoot.
