The two large stacks on the powerplant near my house (the five-stack
building on Salem Sound) have had strobe lights from the moment they were
constructed;  the oldest of the stacks was built in the early-70's.  So
it's an older FAA rule, I suspect.

I don't think the WESX stick in Marblehead has strobes, not that I've seen
across the water from Derby Wharf last time I was on the ferry.  

Take care,

Dave
