A Non concrete base? Really? One guy dies in Maine recently - one guy is
trying to recover in Florida from a tower accident and we are talking about
doing things the tower manufacture would never OK.
Please DO NOT TAKE CHANCES - DO THE RIGHT THING. PLEASE

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Temporary 30-40ft Rohn 55G
Rohn 55 is pretty heavy duty for a temporary antenna support. If you have
that large of a wind load you may need some type of concrete base. About 20
years ago I used a small aluminum tower in the Caribbean and just had it
sitting on the ground with rope guys. Temporary can mean different things to
different people, for me it just needed to be up for a week. I believe WRTC
2014 used Rohn 25 towers with a tilt bases that were staked into the ground,
They were raised with a falling derrick.

What would one use for a base to erect a 30-40ft Rohn 55G? It would be

Is it possible to have a non-concrete base?
Thank You,
