My experience here - I bought my retirement place near the top
of a local hill. The next two properties east of me, I bought
also, were empty lots - the second property came with a 12' x 16'
concrete and concrete block building, a tower base, three anchor
points and three phase power. (A former FM Broadcast site.)
After the installation of a few Rohn 45G tower sections and some
guy wire, I now have a respectable repeater site.
Works for me,
