How much would it cost to lease BK Tower and how long would it take to train a few guys and gals to operate it safely? ( I dont mean to become fully qualified ATCO's, just safe operators working in an advisory capacity only - like they do in some other countries)
How much revenue actually eventuates from it?
Let's see, say an average of 1 Warrior every 3 minutes at say $10 a time. Thats about $200 an hour or say $10,000 a week or $500,000 a year - or is that a bit optimistic?
Still, when you consider leasing the place (who owns it BAL or ASA?), say 40K pa + power, etc and employing say half a dozen keen helpful entusiasts at say $40K pa, could it work if ASA are losing so much money and just want to give it away?......
Oh and let's get rid of the silly GAAP rules too.

Asset costs?
The .pdfs supplied on ASA's website show 'asset costs' for Camden over $300k annually! That tower was built something like 25 years ago, wasn't it? How can depreciation of a 25 year old building and the cost of a coffee urn, some 20A fuses and a lawnmower amount to $300k?!?!?!?
Also the equivalent of 1 full time employee = $170k pa. I concede that ATCOs are worth paying well, but $170k for running a tower 2 days week?
