[PPRAANet] Enlisting help with tower removal

The tower removal parties went well.  The first tower belonging to 
N0DNG (Sk) came down Saturday morning, and the W8HOJ tower came down 
later Saturday afternoon.  After meeting up for breakfast with the 
regular PPRAA breakfast club, the tower work crew headed over to the 
Yellowstone Drive address first.  The two climbers, Rick McMorran 
W6ANF and Don Johnson K0DRJ, had the first antenna down by about 1030, 
and the tower was down by around noon.  The second tower, a bit 
taller, came down by around 1800 Saturday evening.  Kelly Jones N0VD 
came with his climbing harness and gin pole, but I don't know if he 
did any climbing or not.

I had to leave early due to other commitments so I don't know the 
disposition of either tower.  Don't know who got what.  I know the 
first tower belonging to N0DNG was being donated to the PPRAA.  The 
W8HOJ tower was just a "need to get it out of here" project for Ginger 
Browning.

Thanks to everyone that came out to help.  I think we had about 18 or 
so people altogether to help with disassembly and hauling.

Sorry if I missed anyone - I left early so don't know if anyone else 
showed up.
