Hi.

In Rick's (KC5AJX) post, he mentioned that his holes were too deep. Now, 
I'm not sure you can have too much concrete under a tower, but that's 
another discussion. Anyway, his fix was to shovel loose excavate back 
into the holes.

Now, I know that when you're pouring a footing for a concrete basement 
wall, you must pour onto undisturbed soil. Is the same true for towers?
