Antenna tower · 2026
KELQ-FM Colman SD Tower
Colman, SD · near Flandreau Muni (11.6 mi)
What this outcome means
The FAA studied the proposal and concluded it would not be a hazard to air navigation. A no-hazard determination is not permanent — it carries an expiration date, and if the structure is not built by then the case has to be re-filed.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"Two reasons for this filing: First correct the coordinates of this tower. Second update lighting from high intensity white only lighting to high intensity dual lighting (want to use high intensity dual lighting per Chapter 8 of the newest Advisory Circular)."
