gas,
tolls, rentals, and your time)? I wonder whether you might come out ahead
if you were to sell the tower in Oregon and buy locally whatever kind of new
or used tower you want. Also, the HDX555 might not even be the exact tower
you would have bought if you were picking it out yourself. Some food for
thought...
Especially considering that the tower is NOT rated anywhere close
to the windspeed rating in Louisiana; East Baton Rouge County has a 95 MPH
rating. The tower might be rated to 75-80 MPH. You'd be better off selling it
where it is and then buying a real tower for your situation.
