I am using a pier pin base because that is what my county requires. When
looking at Rohn's manuals and drawings a tower section buried in the concrete
is used for a self supporting tower max height 40'. Rohns manual for guyed
towers only shows a pier pin base, therefore the county will not allow me to
use the tower section in the base. I argued that the foindation was stronger
but a no go. I must use what the county will sign off on.

## You might want to ph or email rohn...and explain it to them. Im sure
they would fax an ok, that a base embedded in concrete meets their specs.
But if base is embedded, the legs have to sit on
some sand or gravel 1st... big enough not to plug the leg holes. Water has to
be able to drain. Otherwise the legs will fill with water, freeze, legs
split, all hell breaks loose.
