Yes, i wondered how much of a deal breaker that would be. I think there
are institutional liability concerns having to do with a bunch of guys
showing up to take it down on their property.
I have no interest in this and am merely the errand boy. With the Lapp
insulator and guys included, if it were me and I had it, I'd think about
using it as a top loaded 1/2 w. tower on 160. I think the addition of a
capacitance hat would get it to 1/2 w. while keeping it below the FAA limit
for paint and lamping. the one question i have is that the tower's
construction involves the use of horizontal bars between the legs. I do
not know if this makes for a less rugged tower compared to the ones using
diagonal rods or not. Maybe it is better or makes no difference. If
someone would comment on that I'd appreciate it.

<<<$3500 for an almost 50 year old tower seems a bit expensive to me. That
would be the equivalent of $175 for a 10' section. >>>
