No - the tower is not that high!

The FCC has canceled a proposed monetary forfeiture
issued to WKLC, Inc. This, for violation of the Commission's Rules requiring the registration and painting of antenna structures that are 200 feet or higher.

Back on July 23, 2003, WKLC was issued a proposed fine of $13,000 because it allegedly had not maintained the tower near St. Albans, West Virginia to FCC rule.

But WKLC climed that the tower was exempt from these rules because it was under 200 feet tall - and it brought in a structural engineer to prove it.

He climbed to the top and dropped a tape measure.
It showed the tower to stand ony 197 feet and 7 inches.

Based on the information now before it, the Enforcement Bureau decided that no forfeiture should be imposed,
contingent upon WKLC filing new paperwork showing the tower's correct height.
