UPDATE BELOW
Heading out for a couple of errands. Check the mail, pick up some fresh tortillas, Costco (groceries and gas) and then check out the antenna tower I saw on Craigslist. If it is in decent shape, it will be perfect for what I want.
UPDATE
Tower is perfect - deal was for $250 - saved about $1,000 over new cost and it is in amazing condition:
Weathered but zero corrosion, no bends or cracks. Towers like this normally sell for about $800 and the antenna rotators for about $400 so I got a screaming good deal. From one ham operator to another. Unpack the truck tomorrow before heading to the farm.
Score! Be safe getting that up.
