[TowerTalk] Elevated Guy Anchors

[Chad Kurszewski WE9V]

I've done the normal extensive "back issue" search and came up needing
more.


As soon as the weather climbs considerably from this morning's single
digit temperatures, I'm going to start digging holes for my two tower
project at my new house.

I'm looking for people who have installed elevated guy anchors.
You know, pipe or I-beams up 3-4 feet so it's easier to cut the
lawn and harder to get "clotheslined".

Please respond direct to me as to what you used in your installation,
how large your installation is (tower height and antenna loading),
how you like it, what you would do differently, and if you had any
calculations (or PE) to back you up.

p.s.  Don't tell me to hire a PE.  I want to see what everyone else
is doing and see if I can "qualify by similarity".


THANKS!
