Hello ALL,
Our local club has a tower that was donated to us. It is a 58 1/2 foot, =
three section tower with 21" from leg to leg at the base, tapering to =
abt 15" at the top.
The tower is made of steel rod throughout, galvanized. Each foot (3) =
and each section bolts together with a four bolt 1/2" thick pad centered =
on the rod. =20
What do we do for a footing? I can't even see aligning four bolts in =
the concrete at each foot. The tower has NO markings whatsoever. We =
assume it is free-standing.=20
We have a hole, 4'x4'x 6' deep already dug.
Any thoughts?
Jim, AC6TK for the Yucaipa Valley Amateur Radiio Club.
