Howdy all, I am in the process of putting up a Rohn 25 tower and have a good number of questions about how to best go about this. I'll try to detail my situation and what my ideas and questions are (
Obviously, of 53 above I would opt for a flat base plate and a single large bolt in the center to hold the plate in place. Almost all of the forces at the base are DOWNWARD. (A base plate on earth W
