Mast and Antenna heights

There seems to be some confusion about the heights in this page. Some structure include the main antenna cyclinder and some don't eg Mendip to the top of the cylinder is 305.5metres

  Belmont does include the cylinder height.

Since these structures are Antenna Masts rather than Buildings with Antennas on them, then the height to the absolute top should given. In this case someone needs to check the drawings at Arqiva /National Grid Wireless

Skelton transmitter

The comments cell is incomplete- I've tidied it but not corrected it. EvocativeIntrigue 14:42, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The comment "insulated against ground" is common to all mast radiators and so is not worth including here IMO Chillysnow 21:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Inverkip Power Station

Found conflicting reports of the height of the chimney. Most resources seem to state 213m but Skyscraperpage.com has 236m, as does this Inverclyde Governmental site. Any definitive info available? Chillysnow 20:50, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Burghead AM Transmitter

Can't find exact info on the height of this mast anywhere, other than an indication that it's in the 236-244 m range. Please update with definitive info. Chillysnow 23:31, 17 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anthorn

Looks like Anthorn VLF transmitter should be on this list, but can't find height info anywhere Chillysnow 21:13, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Same applies to the plethora of masts at the Orfordness transmitting station Chillysnow 19:25, 24 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A couple more in Kent

I know a couple of structures in Kent that need to be added when their height can be sourced. The 800ish foot Grain Power Station chimney is in the list, but not the nearby Kingsnorth power station chimney which looks a bit smaller but is certainly on a similar scale. I'd guess its 600ft or so, maybe more, can't find a source though.

The 630ft pylons in Thurrock / Northfleet are noted but not the nearby twin chimneys of the Northfleet Lafarge (ex Blue Circle) cement works. Again by rough comparison alone 600ft or so. They were noticably taller than the Northfleet power station chimneys which were c.500ft when they were still standing. --LiamE 23:08, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Satellite view of Kingsnorth Power Station from Google. Note the shadow of the stack stretching away to the north east. Zoom out a bit and move over to the east to compare with Grain. --LiamE 23:24, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kingsnorth power station now added Chillysnow 23:47, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Northern Ireland

This article contains an entry for Strabane in Northern Ireland. Should this be removed or should the article changed to "List of tallest buildings and structures in the United Kingdom"?

Seems pointless to have a separate list for NI, so my vote is for name change. Chillysnow 23:19, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
