[TowerTalk] 140' guyed tower worth?

[Steve Maki]

In *general*, a tower has zero value or even negative value unless it's 
on the ground already. Especially if it's 20' sections. Competent, 
insured labor is expensive.

I’m trying to get the specs on it from the company that erected it, but I know it was built for 3x the load we were putting on it, Its use was for NLOS and LOS PtMP wireless internet; it has a 4’ licensed dish on it for backhaul and 3 Telrad base stations and a few Cambium radios on it iirc.
