- Mike, Just had this done in September for a UST 572HD base. 5x5x8 with 3000# mix for $4200. When I asked around locally, I heard prices from $4K to $6K so you're probably good to go. 73 Les W2LK Bid

- To the best of my understanding, for freestanding towers, you HAVE TO have "undisturbed soil" for the pour-- you can not dig a hole and form up for the base and backfill. I'm not saying that's what y

- Concrete is a lot cheaper in South Dakota. 4x4x7.5 feet is about 4 1/2 yards (let's say 5 yards) at $1500 that is $300 per yard. The concrete was the most expensive part of my project too, but it was
