Route 1, Northern Maine, near New Brunswick border.
Self-supporting tower and shack included! 3.2 acres, $39.9K. If I were
looking for a spot to build a retirement home, or had any reason to move to
that part of Maine, I'd consider it myself. You could take down the
microwave dishes and build a transmitter building right on top of the
tower - no feedline needed. Betcha could even build an 80m yagi that would
withstand ice storms on top of that thing.
Or lay out radials and feed the whole tower as a fat shunt-fed vertical.
>From the map and photos, (assuming the tower is located in the middle) the
property is just about exactly the right size for quarter-wave ground plane
for 160, and the tower looks to be about 120 ft. tall.
Right now, real estate is a buyer's market.
