[TowerTalk] Tower cost estimate?

[Bryan Swadener via TowerTalk]

Based on my tower project (http://www.tinyurl.com/wa7prc-tower), I'd guess around $5K... about half for the parts and (paraphrasing Yogi Berra) the other 90% for labor and beer. YMMV.

There's a US Tower TX455 for sale on QRZ right now. A fellow won it at Dayton, and can't use it.
