I helped put the first repeater on in Arkansas 40 years ago and have been 
involved in repeaters ever since then. To my knowledge there has never been an 
amateur repeater on the tower that fell. The only amateur use was by an 
engineer for the educational channel 2. After hours a number of years ago he 
hooked a 6 meter radio to the broadcast antenna. At 2000 feet over flat terrain 
you can imagine the coverage.

This tower was erected in 1965 and at that time was the second tallest 
structure in the world. They were in the process of replacing the guy wires 
when the tower collapsed.
