[TowerTalk] Mounting a 4x4 in concrete

[dennis o'connor]

Dig a 4X4X4 foot hole - stand up an 8 foot long,  6" dia., steel pipe 
in the hole and brace it - fill the pipe with sand to ground level then 
pour the concrete into the hole- after the concrete sets, stand up the 
the 4X4 into the pipe - pack sand around the 4X4 to the top of the pipe 
- go have a cold one...
\
The hardest part is standing up the 4X4 and inserting it into the tube 
- gonna take six fellas and  four ropes...
Also, weld short, angle iron stubs to the outside of the pipe and put 
some rebar throughout the hole, all wired or welded togetherto help it 
stay keyed into the concrete, ...
