Obstruction Lighting on ABC Tower – Update Jan 6, 2026

Wanted to share some clarification on what is happening with obstruction lighting for the ABC Tower.

Currently the tower has flashing white lights at the top and midway down the tower.  These are operational 24/7. 

However, the lighting manufacturer is working to address a problem with the red flashing lights, which typically would be used at night.  Currently, they can’t get the red flashers to operate while the Radio station is broadcasting. 

A NOTAM has been issued, but it generically indicates that the Obstruction Light is unserviceable – which is true of the red lights.  But I hope this email provides some additional clarification.

The Obstruction Evaluation Specialist will keep us updated on any changes.

Please share this info as you see fit,
