[TowerTalk] Guy Anchor Failure

[David Jordan]

Barry,

I've had a few screw anchors in and out...it appears the screwing-in work
is done by the front of the screw and disc...the remaing rod pretty much
gets a free ride into the ground. I didn't see any scuff marks where the
galvanization was deeply scuffed, let alone removed.
