Rick, I think you may be pouring more concrete than you need, if this
base is not already in the ground. I have put up two Rohn 25 towers
using the 2' x 2' x 3' base dimensions shown in the Rohn instructions for
the foldover tower. For a 40 foot guyed tower, I think you can reduce
your base concrete cost by 75% (1.78 yd -> .44 yd).
73, Drew
