If you go to

https://pilotweb.nas.faa.gov/PilotWeb/

and enter the nearest airport in the NOTAM Retrieval search box, you can pull up all NOTAMs for that airport.  Look through them and see if the tower is listed (by ASR and location from the airport).  If it isn't there, no NOTAM is on file.

I would advise everyone who has a lit tower to bookmark the site and check it after you notify the Lockheed contractor of any outage on your tower.  You might  attach the NOTAM  to the log as proof that the lights were properly reported.
