They had to build a special pad just for the demolition crane to sit
on. It hasn't had any tower lights since last year, so I guess I
should have figured it was going away.

I didn't realize mine was being torn down until it was already gone.
Yours was older than mine. It is sad that they're going away. I don't
know why they don't just sell them. I would have picked up both of
them. :-)
Yours had an FAA sign at the base.

They're tearing down a 4 legged, what I think was about a 400' FAA tower
by my house.

Had 6 big horns on the top, and a handful of 10' dishes. Also some
spiderweb looking antennas sticking out the top. I'm pretty sure it was
an FAA tower, I couldn't find it in the FCC Tower database, and I don't
think it was a long-lines tower.
I'm guessing the amount of Copper Waveguide that came off the tower is
just pure profit for the demolition company...
