I'm thinking of buying a property that was once the sight for a local dish
satellite system. My first concern is liability, although it seems very
well built and there is no rust through the galvanized tubing. It's 100'
tall in 5 20' sections with three cables at 3 places around the tower,
total of 9 cables. A view from the top would look like a triangle, each
side about 3' and it appears to be the same size from the top to the
bottom.

I did just find a fairly close sign company with a 120' crane, but today
is sunday so I can't call. I don't know what the tower would cost, maybe
someone would take it for free if they take it down? Maybe it's worth
more?

If it gets expensive I think I could topple the thing one direction where
it is far from any buildings or trees. It actually looks easy using the
cables but that also sounds like a story for the Darwin awards.

Any suggestions appreciated. I thought of renting out antenna space but I
figure it would already be done if anyone was interested.

Looking for suggestions of things to ask or research that I may not think
of. I guess i could leave 20 or 40 feet there and put a TV antenna on it!

If your local paper has free adds you may put it in that for free. Maybe
some ham radio operators would take it down if given to them.
