      Always good advice. They're available from Champion Radio Products - 
http://www.championradio.com or 888-833-3104.

     While the Rohn drawings are for 'normal' soil, it'll get you started on 
what's involved. If your soil is REALLY sandy, you might want to talk to an 
engineer to see what they recommend. Otherwise use the Rohn specs and no one 
will yell at you if you make the holes bigger and use more concrete. 
Over-engineering NOT discouraged.
