Interesting Facts/Records (in own words): ATLAS-I ( abbreviation for Air Force Weapons Lab Transmission-Line Aircraft Simulator) or also known
as TRESTLE is the largest wooden structure in the world. It was built in order to examine the effects of EMP waves on flying aircraft. In order
to avoid any interferences of the generated EMP waves with the ground, a 180 metres tall wooden bridge is used on which the aircraft are moved
for the test.
The EMP is generated by a Marx Generator with a peak power of 200 GW at a voltage of 10 MV.
Since 1991 ATLAS-I is unused.
Coordinates (with decimal fraction): 35.029898 N 106.557574 W

I find not any numbers about its height, and I guess that it is much lower than 180 m.

You can find a height value of ATLAS-I at http://alibi.com/news/35291/Empire-My-Prince.html . There is a height value of 600 feet mentiond. As 1 foot is 0.3048 metres long, its total height is 182.88 metres!

[Artemco]

oh, I had searched it by words tall and height
rising 600 feet (12 stories)
but 12 floors are not 600 feet, maximum 120
I have measured it by shadows proportionally to 78 m and 107 m tall highrises, and found that masts are ~55 m, platform is ~35 m (this is nearby 12 storey building), and that tallest thing ~76 m

[Alpha]

I believe the height value is the height of the part left from the platform measured from the ground. I wonder me why the source says that a 600 ft ( 182.88 metres) tall structure is equal to 12 floors. A floor height of 15.24 metres is a too great for a realistic value.
This must be a type mismatch.
Unfortunately ATLAS-I is still military property and so I believe getting exact data may be difficult.

[Artemco]

so I add it with 76 m estimated spire and 35 m roof?

[Alpha]

Yes, you can. But please mention, that soime sources claim, it is 183 metres tall and that it is a military facility on military property.
