I recall that the Intermittent Telephone Company (Intermountain) pole-guy years ago told me that they always bury 1/7th of the above-ground pole length. So 7 feet buried for a 35 foot above ground, or total pole length of 42 feet; your 5 feet plus 1 per 10 of 43.5 is a little more conservative, clearly safer. 73 Barry, EI/W5GN _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk |
