I found this on a government auction site:

http://www.govdeals.com/eas/itmDisplay.cfm?itemID=65&acctID=1881

It looks like a Rohn 55 tower. Of course, I could not put the whole thing up at my residence. Does anyone think I would have trouble selling the unused sections,or...maybe a new mountain top site?

I know were this is located. If I purchased it, I would go and pick it up. I might get out bid so I am not going to get worked up too much.

Hi Fred,
I think you could sell the rest and make your money back.  How much would you use?  If the price is right I would like some of it also.  Lets see, if you used 100 feet, then sold the rest for $25.00 a section (if it's Rohn 55) then you could make out and pay to pick it up and the cost of the tower.

Russ,
I am trying to find someone in the Richmond area to go out and look at the tower. I might be wrong about it being a Rohn 55. I was under the impression that a tower light was not available for the 45, but, after looking at the light, I think the mount may be fabricated. I might have to go and look at it, especially for rust.
