You need a new copy of the rules.

Actually, I don't think they're bothering to print the latest version, but
here's a list of the changes:

According to my copy of the regs, there's no provision for a flashing red.
The only listed flashing is:
submarine: 1 sec flashing yellow for 3 secs, then 3 secs off
hovercraft, non-displacement mode: flashing yellow
police, customs, and USCG: blue flashing

Not sure what the regs say about a radio tower under tow though..
