Regarding the 3.5x3.5x7.5 base dimension, a copy of Tri-ex hand calculations dated from 1965 shows the assumption was 4,660 psi soil bearing strength @ 7' below grade and 1,550 @ 28" below grade. The

It is interesting how base requirements have changed over the years. Back in 1970, I had a 64' freestanding aluminum tower (Heights) with a tribander on it and other antennas. All the manufacturer sp

You are correct Ken - the discussion is mostly academic, but an area of my personal interest. Matt KM5VI anyone aware of a tower base failure due to strength of the concrete or lack of rebar? (Except
