Narrative:
Ham radios are mounted near the obstruction light on the west second street water tower in xenia; ohio; next to the greene county lewis a jackson regional airport. The 2.4 and 5.8 ghz radio antennas are mounted above the light on a mast that passes up past the light. This cannot help but reduce visibility of the light in some directions. The city of xenia water treatment division approved this installation. I would not like to see this contribute to an accident.
