The incident occurred near Muleshoe, Texas, where the helicopter, on an urgent emergency call, was forced to "alter its approach pattern" when the pilot unexpectedly encountered a nearby unlit tall antenna structure. After being notified of this event by the Muleshoe Police Department, agents of the FCC's Dallas Office investigated and took steps to ensure that the tower was promptly lit and that the FAA was notified of the outage. The Muleshoe police have verified that the tower is now lit.  {%H   {%H The FCC's Compliance and Information Bureau (CIB) is continuing its investigation of the matter.  CIB Bureau Chief Richard D. Lee said: "Unlit antenna structures present a special hazard to law enforcement and emergency medical personnel.  {%H   {%H I cannot stress too strongly the need for complete compliance with FCC rules. Violations in this area can place life and safety at risk.  {%H   {%H Enforcement of these requirements is a top priority," he said. FCC rules require that antenna structures above 200 feet in height, or in certain areas designated by the Federal Aviation Administration, must be lit from dusk to dawn. If a top tower light is extinguished for more than 30 minutes, the FAA must be notified so that a Notice to Airman (NOTAM) can be issued. FCC rules also require, with certain limited exceptions, that radio towers must be registered with the FCC. "These registration rules are as essential and sensible as the need for automobiles to have license plates. There are no good reasons for failing to comply with this basic requirement," Lee said. Lee said the FCC welcomed public information about unlit radio towers. The Commission can be reached at 1888CALLFCC (18882255322)  qԩ FCC \ News Media contact: David H.
