[NLRS] looking for tower worker/service

We have one more tower to take down at the QTH of SK W0TLE in Scandia.

There is a 55' Rohn HDBX with a couple antennas still on the 21'
2" aluminum mast.  There's a 2m long boom yagi and a Create VHF+ log
periodic and then a rotor about 5' into the tower.

A previous climber noted that a few of the cross members on the top
section may have popped their rivets so there is some question as to
the integrity of the top section.

In any case, we are looking for someone to take this tower down.  It can
be tilted over but the antennas would have to be removed first as they
will get tangled in trees.

There may be another challenge with a fence around the back yard that
the tower would smash if it were tipped over at full height.

The antennas, mast, and tower are free for the taking if anyone is
interested.  We'd like to keep the rotor for possible sale.

We are expecting to hire someone to do this work but striking out on
individuals or services that do this sort of thing around here nowadays.

Any ideas or leads?

Thanks and 73,

Chris
