Sometimes you get lucky and find a bent Rohn section that has 4 or 5 good
feet at the proper end. Some cutting and you have a relatively cheap
buriable base section.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Pier pin vs. burying in concrete
| Yes, a pier pin is a good choice and has
| been reported to allow for higher loads than
| a rigid (in concrete) base.
|
| But is it really Cheaper?
|
| Isn't the cost of base plate about the same as a straight section?
