- No expert here, but... The K7NV analysis is magnificent and really gives some basic understanding! I wish Rohn would publish some of the same stuff. I also wish they would make the pier pin option mo

- Regarding the pier pin base, I agree that in theory it's the way to go, and that's what I have on my 110' Rohn 55. However, I've often wondered if the Rohn flat-plate pier pin base used by most hams

- I think Dick has a good point. I've always assumed that it would not move until the last 5 percent of wind loading, and maybe not even then, given the rise in downward forces. I think if I had it to

- Yes he does, and one which I've mentioned here in the past. I think that the more important feature of a pier pin base is the tilt freedom to keep the downward force on the legs equalized, rather tha

- Commercial towers have no fancy thrust bearing. It's usually just a very heavy but small diameter plate that is just large enough to accept the angled in tower legs, which are welded to the plate in

- One factor not mentioned is that it is unlikely a significant moment can be transmitted by the two plates in contact. One side of the plate will lift as soon as the base moment exceeds the downforce
