I haven't been up there in a decade, but I recall that the engineer that I was working with said that the antenna he was there to check was 15' tall and when it was in place, it was actually at about 400' AGL. I figured the height of the building was 385' based on that. Our antenna has since moved to the cluster at 250 Douglas Place which is about 100' shorter, but the picture quality is the same.

Do you realize that if the 325 feet figure is the official figure, the Epic Center is no longer the tallest building in the State of Kansas? The State Capitol Building in Topeka is 1 foot taller at 326 feet. There is no way out of it and they can't have it both ways.
