Those horns are just aluminum, sawzall will rip them right up. I would
rather leave them and use them though.

This do this by establishing an anchor point+pulley near the dish and
hoisting up a small oxy-acetylene cutting torch rig?

If it was me, I'd leave two of the lower ones on the tower to make
use of them for licensed PTP and get rid of the rest.

I have wondered the same thing. I have talked to a crane
company about removing them just to free up the wind load they
create but for the cost of the crane I'd think I could do it
myself if it were not for the issue of not having an
attachment above the dish. The top dishes actually are about
2 feet above the top of the tower.

I wonder how they got the dishes on the top of that in place
originally. Crane?� Based on my knowledge of rigging
methods, I'm trying to figure out in my head a way to
establish an anchor and pulley above those dishes to lower it
with a steel cable and winch, but they're right at the top of
the tower. Or vice versa, to raise one following a cable path
at a 35-45 degree angle...
There is a 25-floor building near here with a nice 8 ft size 6
GHz Andrew dish. I could have it for free. It's built from
heavy gauge everything and probably weighs 600 pounds. The
only way to get it down now would be a helicopter, it's been
up there 25+ years.
