K2TTT is Jay, I don't know what he has done.  But I used to have a left over 
field day tower that was 60' of rohn 25 and just standing on a roof plate with 
screw in anchors.  All it had was a small tribander at most, in the end it was 
just vhf/uhf stuff.  That one used 3/16" ehs for guys, though it started with 
rope for fieldday.

right now I have 4 verticals for the 80m 4-square that are sitting on roof 
plates and guyed with Dacron rope.  the only problem with those is that they 
move too much for the porcelain insulators I bought for them so I had to 
reinforce them with fiberglass angle stock.

I believe K2TTT put one tower up using nothing as a base, just the tower 
standing on a small plate, resting directly on ground. Yes, it is (was) guyed.


Dave, am I correct?

Why use Rebar at all. I put 3 towers up using chicken wire and tie
wraps off bread wrappers. So far only 2 have fallen down,
