  I have an old Hygain catalog showing 42" X 42" X 72" base dimensions for
the HG54HD tower. If you need a new base cage I see they are listed as still
available for only $289 through Texas Towers.

    Hello group,

    Sorry for the earlier blank post......I forgot to turn off HTML
formatting.

    I'm new to this, so please bear with me. I have searched the archives
for
    this answer, but with no specific results, so maybe one of you
"enlightened
    ones" will have an answer for me?

    I have recently acquired an old Hygain HG54HD crank-up tower with a
    tilt-over base. I can't seem to find out how much concrete I should pour
for
    the base, nor what the dimensions should be. If anyone on the reflector
has
    the answer - or perhaps a rule-of-thumb for such things, I'd sure
appreciate
    it.

    The fully extended tower is 54' and will not be guyed. It cranks down to
    approximately 21 feet in length before tilting. I am in coastal SC, so
    Tropical winds are a fact of life during the Summer. I don't plan to
leave
    it standing under threat of a Hurricane, though.

    Any info appreciated.

    73,

    Butch K4NAU
