i dont know where this came from but a ham friend of mine did use a house 
bracket and a ground mount i took it down for him it wasnt in concrete you 
really dont need it.  i have 1 100ft tower guyed tower strait in the ground no 
concrete and another 120ft same deal of course they are guyed very well.
 
those towers have now been up 15 years and no problems.
 
by the way he had a 7 el. thunderbird on top of it plus a 2 mtr ant. so dont be 
afraid.  if you need me just drop a note i can advise.  

all things are possible in Christ Jesus our savior

Thanks for the comments regarding hinged bases and lifting towers with Rohn 
25G; especially those
who took the time to respond off-line with their experiences, pictures, and 
suggestions. It was 
great that WA7U even offered to help climb the tower if necessary!! Thanks to 
these comments
I have decided that I will stick with Plan A and order the free standing 
(non-hinged) tower kit
from Hill Communications. I do not need a wobbly tower; I do not want to use 
guys on a short 
tower (35'); and I do not want to bracket the tower to the house. So now comes 
the fun part....
