 Can't imagine why ?

 In my opinion.....
 It's not too much to ask, but you're expecting the wrong people to provide
 the notice.
 Whoever ( or whichever station ) scheduled the work should be the one to
 coordinate with other users of the tower.
 In fact, ( without looking ) I believe that's what the rules already require !

 For me, as a matter of policy, I almost never ask the other tower occupants
 anything ( unless their Chief happens to be standing there ) about whether
 or if they powered down.
 I ask the client who hired me, and log it as such.

 Put the blame squarely where it belongs.
 On the licensee requesting the work ! 

 As to damaging your line, that rigger is solely responsible for that,
 and that's why we carry insurance !
