Hello Allen:
I have eight HyTower verticals installed. I used rebar in each one of them.
I have not had any problems in almost 20 years.
I suggest that you consult with a local civil engineer. Get his advice on
your project (rebar or no) before proceeding with your concrete base
installation to insure you do it correctly.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Rebar base for new 18HT installation?
I'm wondering if I need to install a rebar base for my new 18HT tower, or go
with the standard "base tube assemblies" per the installation manual. The
manual does state: "For extra security, steel reinforcing rods can be added
to the base before the concrete is poured."
Tower will be installed in sandy soil (Texas Gulf Coast) and I am not
currently planning to guy it.
Recommendations from the group?
