Narrative:

There is a 1749 ft (MSL) tower about 10 NM east of srq with no daylight high intensity strobes. This is located very close to a military area - it is very close to the local flight training area - it is extremely hard to locate even for those of us who know where it is. Srq has a lot of transient traffic and there have been a number of near misses. This tower needs very high intensity daylight strobes. Please give this your attention now.
