[TowerTalk] Tower Base Finally Poured

[Bill Turner]

For a quick and dirty, non-engineered, free-of-charge answer (worth every
penny), I'd say yes!  I'm in the process of putting up an 80 foot
self-supporting Trylon tower, which requires only seven cubic yards of
concrete for a 34 square foot rating at 70 mph.

There is a certain amount of apples and oranges comparison here, so proceed
with caution.  And of course, the IMPORTANT question is what does the
manufacturer say?

Bill, W7TI
