RE: [TowerTalk] Concrete anchors

[Dino Darling <k6rix@earthlink.net>]

Big steel works the same way (at least with the KFI tower in Los 
Angeles).  1" guys on the bottom (13,000# tension), 1-1/4" guys on the top 
(20,000# tension).

The top guy is 550' up the 750' tower.  The ground anchor is 550' from the 
base of the tower.  Both the upper and lower guys connect to the same anchor.
