[BC] lighting removal- was FAA RF rulemaking

/If you remove the top beacon you will be lowering
the tower height. If this is an AM tower, the base Z
will change if the wire and lighting choke are removed./


Tom- this reminds me of a related question.  I've got an array that hasn't been lighted since they added a diplexed station
in the early 90s so the wires and chokes are gone, but the beacons are still there except on one tower (removing the beacon
put it below 200' while the rest are something like 199' with beacons.) Would it radically change the base Z of the towers to
remove the existing beacons and possibly even the OBs?  Figured it would lessen wind resistance.
