Steve,
Thanks for the the followup information.  No antenna masts are showing up 
as available through the surplus auctions.  I was told that the 
communications gear was automatically declared something like "classified - 
destroy 
function before allowing scrap".  After talking with a yard person, it is my 
understanding that they have to break/crush the items before allowing the raw 
material to be sold as scrap.  I think I also asked about availability via 
local government agencies.  Anyhow, I got the impression that there was no way 
to obtain the material without a commodity designation change from real high 
up the chain of command.
Luckily, the aluminum sections I get do not have an original communications 
purpose.
73,
Henry - K4TMC
