There is an antenna registration number on the fence, and there is a single
strobe on the top of the tower. I never considered the UF colors on the
tower.  DUH !!!

Blau-Knox tower.  No taller than 300 ft. Adding guy lines on that tower was
actually a very dangerous practice as the insulators on that design were
closely rated for the tower load alone. Far more so than today's design
practices.

If that tower requires lighting, then that site owner is a deep trouble if
the tower is not registered and so on...
