[TowerTalk] 45G guy anchors

[wa4dou@juno.com]

How high is your tower going to be? What is the very highest wind speed
it'll be subjected to, and for how long? What is the maximum amount of
antenna windloading you're going to put on it? What is the makeup of your
soil? If it was me, i'd use the "buried concrete" type. Initial plans for
rather modest setups have a way of changing as ones desires advance.
Also, you can sleep better at night knowing theres real concrete in the
ground holding those "J" hooks in place! :o) 73 Roy WA4DOU
