Despite the improvement of these screw-in anchors over conventional
single-plate anchors, they will be just as susceptible to rain-saturated
soil followed by a stiff wind.

For a truly temporary field day sort of operation, these anchors might make
sense.  Still, I'm not sure I'd be comfortable climbing any tower that is
guyed with screw-in anchors.

Thanks to Jim, K6OK, for discovering these.

I'm planning to try them for some upcoming tower projects.

Has anyone actually used these?
