[TowerTalk] Question: I-Beams as Guy Anchors

[Grillo's]

Check your ordinances.  In my county you must keep the tower base at least
as far away from your property line as the tower is tall. If a similar
ordinance exists in your location you need 120', not 96' from your tower
base for its location. or limit your tower height to 96'.
