Perhaps now that it has bee knocked down, the FAA and FCC will get
together
and find a more suitable location for a new tower. (wishful thinking)
The TV news report I saw last night had a spokesman for KFI stating
that the tower would be reconstructed on the exact same site with the
same guy wire locations.
Perhaps painting it day-glow orange and installing xenon strobes all
over it might help make it a little more conspicuous.
Sounds like the help of AOPA would be in order. A petition drive, also,
with members doing a quick safety explanation to non pilots, also. Stand in
front of grocery stores, go door to door around the airport, ect.
