I don't want to open the "buried base section" vs pier pin debate again as
I know that everyone has an opinion, but........

I understand that for a fixed tower (rotating or stationary antennas) that
a pier pin is the strongest solution; but what about a rotating tower? Is
it a logical conclusion that the best way to go is with a buried section
because of the potential rotational moment?

Thanks in advance.

Bruce, K1MY
