This reminds me of an episode when we were putting up my tower -- the
backhoe digging for one of the guy anchors hit an unmapped corner of the
septic field. This was not going to work ... so I had him fill in that
smelly hole and dig another about 10 feet further out from the tower, in
the same direction. My logic was that placing the guy further out would
only reduce the stress on the guy (and the force compressing the tower) for
any given wind pressure from that direction. I hope I was right, but it's
been up 7 years so far.
