Up until a few months ago, it was owned by ATT, 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.

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

That is correct. Part 17 of the FCC Rules covers marking and lighting of Antenna Structures. FAA Advisory Circular AC 70/7460-1K covers the specifics. It might be a good idea to first determine if an Aeronautical Study has been performed on the subject tower. The FCC requires that the 7-digit
