Hi,
If I remember it right, Dave, K1TTT has a tower up without any base, just a
base plate right on the ground and a set of guy wires.
Right, Dave?

And if you really want confusing facts, the Delhi/Taco self supporting
DMX - 68' in Canada specifies approximate (their wording) base widths of
46" x 48" deep bell bottom base. Soil type is omitted. So who is right
and who is wrong?

I'll run the race and I will never be the same again.

If you really want facts, the rohn catalog calls for a 2'6"x2'6'x4' base
for
180' of 55g. but a 64' bx series rohn tower calls for a 5'9"x5'9"x4'
base.
