Thanks, Jim. I wonder if it mentioned a base section to put in the concrete?
18" sounds like it just may need some 12" j-bolts instead of a whole base
section.

Yes Steve, the manufacturer sold a guy set for it. My 1982 catalog shows the
base as 24"x24"x18" and it also shows an HG-MT2-20 guying kit for this tower.
So go ahead Chuck. Do what the manufacturer says. This tower is NOT a
freestanding tower, but was referred to as a "side-supported" tower and it was
designed to be bracketed to a roof or guyed.

Hiya, Chuck --
Why would you guy it since the manufacturer doesn't say to and any
failure will be in the upper 1/3 or so of the tower - not the guyed base
section?
The guys are pretty superfluous but installing them won't hurt
anything.
