[TowerTalk] Universal Base

[jparr at bgcfreedom.com]

I put up a larger Universal Tower with the hollow legs. The ones I used
were square, and not round though. After the pour was done, and everything
was thoroughly dry I filled them with crazy foam, then filled the
remaining 1" of tube at the top with silicone caulk. Filling them with
concrete would probably work as well.

The other question I have is that the rods are hollow and will fill with water.  I guess I could plug them with a wooden dowel.  I think I should keep them completely encased in the concrete and not let them drain into a stone bed below the concrete or some such idea.   Any thoughts or experiences with these bases?
