Wow... I gotta keep pinching myself after looking at the Top 10 rumors!!  W9,
W8, W9, W9, W9, W3, VE4, VE4 ???  I believe the Black Hole has moved south

Anyway, here are the score rumors that were copied on 3830 after the contest
as well as scores I have collected here on the reflector.  As always, if you

From: Peter G. Smith" <n4zr@netcom.com (Peter G. Smith)
Subject: Rohn Tower Basing
Message-ID: <Pine.3.89.9408241111.A1915-0100000@netcom>

OK, guys, response to the lightning question was so good that I have the 
temerity to raise another one.

I have always seen guyed tower installations (Rohn 25 and 45) where the 
first section was embedded in the concrete base, trued up, and then used 
as the starting point for the tower.  However, in reading the Rohn 
catalogue I noticed that their parts lists for various heights and wind 
loadings of guyed towers always assumed that a BPC25G concrete base plate 
would be used, which in turn sits down over a 3/4" pier pin" that is the 
only thing that is embedded in the concrete base.

Talked with Rohn today, and they tell me that they emphatically recommend 
this type of base arrangement over the embedded tower section because at 
"ultimate wind load" it is better for the tower to be free to pivot at 
its base slightly, rather than to have all three legs firmly fixed.  They 
claim this reduces the risk of broken welds, etc. that could result in a 
concealed weakening of the tower.  Not incidentally, it looks to me as if 
it would be as easy or easier to embed the pier pin, as long as you can 
get it relatively straight.  For that matter, the drawings call for 1/16 
slop between the base plate hole and the pier pin, so maybe pier pin 
alignment isn't even really critical.

Does this square with usual practice out there, and I have seen a 
minority of installations, or is there something wrong with the pier 
pin/base plate set-up? 

73, Pete
