    Does anyone know the height of the red and white Roslevin Exchange mast in Athlone? Even an educated guess would do.

    Not exactly.

    You can cheat using Google Earth's 3d model though.
    https://www.google.ie/maps/@53.4277717,-7.9339751,80a,35y,6.56h,79.16t/data=!3m1!1e3

    The 80a is the camera altitude in meters. using the keyboard to type in different values and hit enter and the camera will adjust.
    It's local elevation rather than sea level. If you change the height to 2a you'll be at eye level.
    Add about 5 meters for the thin masts on top of the main structures not caught by the 3d model.
