I did exactly as they suggested - a 4 foot section of pipe and start going
around in a circle......don't get too dizzy. The longer the length, the
more leverage. My installation was in Alaska. It held the tower against
100 plus mph winds. Took about 10 minutes for each earth anchor to sink it
5 feet into the ground.
