A new law in Idaho makes clear that amateur radio and CB
towers are exempted from another state law that requires all guyed towers to be
"lighted, marked and painted and otherwise constructed to be visible in
clear air during daylight hours from a distance of not less than 2000
feet." According to the
ARRL Letter, the original law exempted some
telecommunications towers, and the new law signed April 1 by Governor C.L.
"Butch" Otter specifically defines amateur radio and CB towers as
among those exempted from the earlier law's provisions. All towers, of course,
continue to be subject to FCC and FAA requirements.
