 First of all, I'm so sorry to hear of your situation.  If I was 20 years 
younger I would consider buying your station.
I'm no expert on the tower drop but thieves around the country have brought 
towers down by cutting guy wires.  I would guess that cutting the upwind guys 
would eventually do it, but until if falls, it would be a real hazard,  And if 
it doesn't then what do you do?

 In a few weeks I will be taking down a 136 ft Rohn 55 tower with its base set 
in concrete.  I won't be taking it down section by section, but rather dropping 
the whole thing.
I have some pre-conceived ides as to how to do it, but have never done it 
beiore.  No issues with power lines or neighbor's property...noner are an 
issue.  Lots of cleared space folr the tower to be dropped.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
