If you have a particular tower in mind, contact the manufacturer. That is,
exept for Tri-Ex, they won't give you the specs on any tower they don't
make anymore.
Also it would be important to check the local city/town authority for permits/
requirements. That process can easily double the cost of installation. Also
check the geology at the site and have a geologist compare the site's soil
with the manufacturer's assumptions. Any difference in character can
necessitate a redesign of the manufacturer's footing design, which adds more
$$$.
All this I know becuase I'm right in the middle of the processs myself.
