[TowerTalk] TowerTalk] Installation manual MA-40

["Ron W8RJL" <youngron@verizon.net>]

> bolts sticking out of the concrete. For a free standing MA-40 with the

> a MA-55 but stay with the 4 anchor bolts 3/4" by 27" and a hole 3' x 3' x 
> 6' deep and a good rebar cage. The MA-55 uses 1" anchor bolts but my base 
> has 4 bolt holes for 3/4" anchor bolts. Comments welcome.
