I once called Flight Service because there was no NOTAM for a 1000' unlit tower. They told me that there was nothing

That would have really sucked if someone had hit it.
They told you wrong. 200 feet is the threshold. We specifically built
a 199' tower to avoid having to worry about it at our station.

Let me rephrase:

There is a tower near my house that is over 1000'. It is frequently (a few times a year) NOTAMed as unlit. One time I
noticed the lights were not working. I called Flight Service and was told that they would do nothing about it based on
my phone call, because I did not control the tower.


Tell them it is a PIREP
