Well, I finally found the time to start getting my tower up:
Today I was able to mount the base plate and 3 guy anchor plates to the
concrete roof of my office building today. I also got 20' of 25g up.
Now all I need is a gin pole to get the other 4 sections up.
The anchor bolts in the concrete worked great. Drill the hole, insert
the anchor bolt, hit it with a hammer and tighten it up, simple. Each
bolt is rated to hold over 3000 lbs and I used 4 for each plate. That
should do it.
Now to finish it and get the antenna up before the NA QSO party.
