I am aware of someone in eastern Tennessee (a newer ham) who has been
unsuccessfully searching for tower help here locally.  He's got 50 ft. of Rohn
25 freestanding with a 20 ft. mast at the top with an MFJ vertical on top of
that which now needs repair.  Hasn't been able to find a tower climber... and
the "professional" company that installed it is now out of business.  Hopefully
not because the guy who ran it managed to get himself killed in a stupid tower
accident...
