I climbed one of these towers with a friend a couple of years ago. The antennas had been removed, or had fallen off, but the tower itself was still in good shape. Up on a ridge line, it offered an amazing view; we got to look down on a couple of military jets, out flying practice maneuvers in the valley below us. The service building at the base of the tower was unlocked and empty. With a couple hours of cleaning and mopping, it would have made a fabulous spot for an all-night rave. Alas, the pandemic put all such plans on hold; in the meantime, the site was demolished. There's nothing there now but a gravel patch. I'm glad to have had the chance to appreciate this bit of infrastructure up close before it vanished.
