    I don't know of any of those used for a tower guy anchor and I'm not an 
engineer but my advice is RUN away from these anchors. Easy to install - and in 
this case - easy to fail.

    Rohn specs call for thousands of pounds of concrete for a typical anchor. 
This wienie anchor cannot take hundreds of pounds of pulling tension. And yes, 
it'd make a terrific tent stake.
