I too have wasps buzzing around the tower spring through fall at all times.  
I have found only one small nest in twenty years and have never found any 
wasps' nests on any towers or antennas.  Although I have grabbed a couple of 
sections of tower on the ground and found there were wasps in side of 
them....the hard way!   I have never even come close to being stung by one in 
the air.  For some reason they like the towers, but are not aggressive  (at 
least the Fla ones).
