KMPC's new array consists of six 199-foot guyed steel towers. Unfortunately for the station, one of the towers—the only one not located on top of the hill—had to stand on this steel pedestal. Even though the top of the tower is at a lower altitude than the other five towers, the FAA requires that this one (and only this one) be painted and lit.
