KISS the towers goodbye!

Maybe they could lease out that last ~60' section still standing to some "up-and-coming" prospect in the AM extended band..
heck....given the "new" height....they likely wouldn't even need to have an FAA beacon on top....!!!:)

Nice job! It looks they even missed the hut and transmission lines.

Generally, if there was any real salvage value in the ATU or the line, they'd remove the valuable parts prior to pulling the tower down. Likely they removed any copper (coils, strap, vacuum caps) from the ATU and the actual coax (particularly with bare-bright going for over $3 a pound) as the line supports don't look like they have the actual coax any more.
 
Some cellular provider might want that stub. They're going to need a lot more cells for 5G.

Lighten up, David. Of course anything salvageable was likely gone from that old AM site - either by design or by "midnight scrap retrieval."
