With somepeople using the crane to help put up the tower, why pour
the oncrete pad?
I have seen some large blocks of concrete put in the gound with a crane to
hold various traffic control lights. Now most of these lights are off to
the side of the block, so they should hold a number of towers. Probably an
adaptor for the cast in bolts would be all that is reuired.
Just a thought
