@mattblaze@federate.social With towers over 200ft, the FAA requires lights on the top, and these towers can make the systems that power and monitor the lights act very funky. I never had the pleasure, but I worked with people who did.

@Zoarial94@infosec.exchange yeah, they make special tower light monitoring systems specifically for AM radio stations. Also, maintaining the lights is definitely a job I Do Not Want.

@mattblaze@federate.social I was remote lighting support for the field, and I loved it. The field techs, however, really have it rough.
