Normally, one would generally not need to illuminate this tower (unless it is a very fat microwave tower with dishes on it or near a runway). Part 17 used to say anything over 190' needed to be lit with anything at 200' or more needing a FAA code beacon. I suspect this is why the tower is 189'. This height vastly reduces the painting/marking/lighting regulations. Al, K9SI (retired CE)
