Not sure I'm cozy with a "how to demo a radio tower with a power saw" video out there. (It's probably real obvious anyway?) Just to see how easy it is though... ugh.
-
@rwundrock what did you do with the dishes
-
Was the guy yelling black? He acted black.
-
It wasn't really that "good" a tower. It was a composite of two older towers that had been disassembled in other locations. If it hadn't been taken down like this, it would have needed to be replaced soon anyway.
-
man this almost bought a tear to my eyes ,seeing a good tower just fall into a heep of junk , hams all over the world will hang there head wishing they could have that tower in there yard. but good work guys remember always be safe
-
LOL bet he went home and jerked off to it.
-
no for one thing he spends lots of days building the damn things and rarely ever do you get to take one down...and two...if he cut the guy and it didn't fall...then there's a big problem....kind of like building demo guys having to go back in a half blown up building to place more dynomite:(

Those guys were pumped! I bet that guy dreamt of felling towers as a kid and getting an adrenaline high off of it.

@StoneOak I believe it was Blackhawk tower.

In tower removal the guy on the tower was breaking loose bolts so the tower will "fold" instead of fall flat over. Also they are supposed to take EVERYTHING off the tower (Antennas, dishes, lights, coaxial cables) to reduce projectile injury.. Usually a crcew will "Unstack" a guyed tower and remove the guy wires one by one but in this case either the radio station didnt have the money for that kind of removal or the tower was in really bad shape and was unsafe.

It was an old (1967) tower owned by the state of Wisconsin. The old dishes, etc. were inconsequential.

It is amazing how environmentalists got away with this. One, the stations has been there long before the park was. TWO the power ground at that point is low. Most of the power goes OUT. So the state spent about $500,000 because the tower was too close to ski trails (which are used how much these days???) Help me understand how much financial sense that makes.

The project cost severeal times the $500k you quoted.
We laughed when the DNR approached us asking that we "move" the tower. We just said "show us the money!"
