Pete,
They have been holding up my 80 meter 4 square for over a dozen years
and my 40 meter 4 square for about 5 years.
They make them up to sizes suitable for utilities to use.
I used an electric jack hammer to install them.

After spending a frustrating afternoon trying (and failing) to drive a
single helical guy anchor for my AB-577 tower, I'm looking for a
better solution. I'm trying very hard to avoid excavation, concrete,
etc.because I will need to restore the site to pristine condition in a
few years. I came across a product called a duckbill anchor that
claims 3000 lb working load in normal soil, and can be driven with a
sledge or an electric jackhammer, leaving a cable end that is then
pulledon to "flip" the anchor into its final position.
Anyone ever used these with a tower, AB-577 or otherwise? Any reason
not to give them a try?
