Wow... I gotta keep pinching myself after looking at the Top 10 rumors!! W9,
W8, W9, W9, W9, W3, VE4, VE4 ??? I believe the Black Hole has moved south
for the summer (it'll be back before the fall DX contests!)
Anyway, here are the score rumors that were copied on 3830 after the contest
as well as scores I have collected here on the reflector. As always, if you
know of other scores, or if something here needs to be corrected, please send
them to me at ka9fox@aol.com. Below you'll find Top 10 QSO leaders, Top 10
Mult leaders, Top Single-op and Multi-op scores, and Top Team scores.
So, without further delay, I present to you the score rumors for the...

Subject: Rohn Tower Basing
Message-ID: <Pine.3.89.9408241111.A1915-0100000@netcom>
OK, guys, response to the lightning question was so good that I have the
temerity to raise another one.
I have always seen guyed tower installations (Rohn 25 and 45) where the
first section was embedded in the concrete base, trued up, and then used
as the starting point for the tower. However, in reading the Rohn
catalogue I noticed that their parts lists for various heights and wind
loadings of guyed towers always assumed that a BPC25G concrete base plate
would be used, which in turn sits down over a 3/4" pier pin" that is the
only thing that is embedded in the concrete base.
Talked with Rohn today, and they tell me that they emphatically recommend
this type of base arrangement over the embedded tower section because at
"ultimate wind load" it is better for the tower to be free to pivot at
its base slightly, rather than to have all three legs firmly fixed. They
claim this reduces the risk of broken welds, etc. that could result in a
concealed weakening of the tower. Not incidentally, it looks to me as if
it would be as easy or easier to embed the pier pin, as long as you can
get it relatively straight. For that matter, the drawings call for 1/16
slop between the base plate hole and the pier pin, so maybe pier pin
alignment isn't even really critical.
Does this square with usual practice out there, and I have seen a
minority of installations, or is there something wrong with the pier
pin/base plate set-up?
73, Pete
