Hi, Rog --

    Yeah - I guess I was only addressing half of the inquiry:

which includes the rebar details. >>

    Well, there ain't a baseplate drawing anywhere except at the 
manufacturer. I'd just take the dimensions to a metal fab shop and have them 
put something together. I'm assuming that his buddy actually has the tower 
and they can make some sort of template. 

    He can still use a UST base drawing as a starting place for the hole and 
rebar sizes and configuration.
