Ahhhhh, so in addition to the metal tower material, there's lots of copper?
If you’re that allergic to an ingredient that comes standard on the burger you ordered, you should probably check to make sure it’s not there. Every time. I feel like I’m probably about as allergic to onions as he is to dairy. Nasty rabbit food. I check every time I order a burgerWhen your burger tries to kill you.

That's EXACTLY the video I was talking about above in post #736! When it's sparking you can hear the AM radio transmission...that's amazing...and deadly!

My dad was a rader specialist in the navy. He said some of the sailors not in the know would lean up or stand near the radar on cold mornings to warm up. Slow cook!

I remember reading a Dawin Award note about one (or two?) security guards at a military microwave installation, in Russia I think, that basically cooked themselves overnight by standing around the transmitters since it was 'warm'.
If so, I doubt any went on to father children...
Then that's the motivation there, not the steel IMO.
I think Bubba and Cletus were drunk, it was dark and they didn't realize it was all steel.....or didn't know any better.
EDIT: According to @garycrist the tower WAS, in fact, AM so there was copper. So maybe Bubba and Cletus are smarter than I thunk....but they're still thieves.
And I detest thieves.

Should I start a conspiracy theory that the FEDs were involved? They seem to be involved in a lot of things...maybe they had 50+ undercover agents with nothing to do after Jan. 6, take down the tower... 
I was WRONG!!! It was a 1000 watt Am station. Copper was involved. They took EVERYTHING,
transmitter and tower.

It was the AM side that got hit. They then used a translator on the FM side.
Also is a link from the FCC to explain a translator.
en.wikipedia.org
FM translators and FM boosters comprise a low power service on the FM broadcast band (88 to 108 MHz) that complements the primary FM service. This service was first created in 1970 to allow FM stations to provide supplementary service to areas in which direct reception of radio service is unsatisfactory due to distance or intervening terrain barriers (for example, a mountain). Most translators or boosters may not originate programming, except for the limited fundraising efforts in the case of translators as explained below. (Exception -- some FM translators relaying AM daytime-only stations may continue to transmit programming when the AM station is off the air at night.) Translator stations rebroadcasting a commercial AM or FM station (the primary station) may be authorized on Channel 221 through 300 (92.1 MHz to 107.9 MHz), while a translator rebroadcasting a noncommercial educational station (the primary station) may be authorized on any FM channel (Channels 201 to 300, or 88.1 MHz to 107.9 MHz). The maximum effective radiated power permitted for any translator station is 250 watts, while the maximum effective radiated power for a booster station is 20% of the main station's maximum class power.

Then this is where the AM tower was, 1,000 feet N by NW of the FM tower. =>>
