[BC] FAA RF rulemaking

[Bailey, Scott]

Here's a question I need to know. I know it's sounds stupid, but I need
to know who to call as far as the FAA is concerned to find out it my
tower is suppose to be lit or not.  
I used the TOWARDS program on the FCC site, and it says no lighting
required. My license doesn't mention anything about lighting, nor
painting. I just want to cover myself on this before I take the lights
off my 150' tower.  I have found I will save $$$ on the AC bill if I
leave the lights off!

That would be nice, but who bears responsibility to fix the problem
when the VOR or localizer was there first and the FM comes along later
(or was "moved-in" from a more distant location?)

The people who specialize in buying small-town stations and moving
them to larger markets, then flipping them to big groups and pocketing
millions apparently don't worry about these things.
