Tower ownership can be very costly. Does the tower require lights?
If so the tower owner must ensure that the lights are maintained and operating properly. I think FCC rules part 73 cover tower lights. IIRC, an outage must be repaired within 30 minutes or be reported to the FAA. The clock starts here. You have a short period of time to fix the lights, something like 30 days. The painting of the tower is important, if required. The FAA has paint "fade charts" to ensure that the paint is the proper shade. The proper use of these charts ensures that the tower is painted at the proper intervals. I was an engineer for a company that made tower site monitoring equipment and got to know the rules pretty good, but that was a few years ago. 73 Glenn WB4UIV At 03:27 PM 06/16/07, you wrote: >Up until a few months ago, it was owned by AT&T, then it was bought by >a private individual that is using it mainly for a storage building >and nothing else. > >But, we may be in a posistion to use the tower as our own, or possible >be able to purchase it all. > >We are looking into all of our options. > >--- In [email protected], mch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Who owns it now? > > > > Joe M. > > > > Christopher Hodgdon wrote: > > > > > > I have a question that I would like to throw out to the group. > > > > > > I have read some items on this, but would like to gather opinions from > > > members of the group. > > > > > > This is something that has been brought up to me. > > > > > > If you had the opportunity to install your repeater antenna on a > > > former AT&T Tower would you do it, if not why? > > > > > > > > > Yahoo!
