Maybe I should have written, "These are the bases ...   ".  But definitely 
not, in this case,   "These are the basses ...  ".

However, your tower has guys that causes a push via a pull down onto the 
concrete base.  The guying changes the movements and momentums 
(momenti?).  Maybe, in the case of a mast or a tower with no guys the base 
offers a change in centre of gravity.

I have been trying to obtain a concensus on the depth of a mast, power pole 
etc for the heigth.  If just put into the ground, if a heavy base is used 
then things change.  The best appears to be, One foot plus 10% of the 
complete pole must be under the ground.
