Seems awfully tall... my vixen gp pillar carrying an OO Gx250 10" f4.7 is 19"-20" from ground to the top of the pillar. If it's carrying the 8" PDS in the ops sig then it could be lowered significantly. Better than having to stick a red light on top to warn passing planes.

Been back out and re-measured "just in case" and it is actually just over 86 centimeters.

Apologies
