K4XS said nothing offensive. I think K8RI and W6RMK gave you some indication
how to calculate the force on the post. Selecting a structural support of
sufficient strength is fairly easy. The base size depends on the force,
depth and soil type. I previously mentioned that K5IU recommends a bunker
consisting of yards of concrete for each anchor. It should be easy for you
to search his recommendation regarding guy posts. Personally unless I had a
roof, driveway or walkway to clear or the tower was in the middle of a farm.
I would not go through the trouble of installing them.

If you read my message, the formula that I am asking for includes those
variables.
Not trying to be snarky but I am a engineer, just not a structural engineer.
You may have just been trying to be helpful and the texting may have not
communicated that. However your response seemed a bit condescending.
I am fully aware of railroad rails being used but I do not want to make a
educated guess.
Again, let me reiterate looking for the 'formula' so no guess work is
involved.
