[TowerTalk] Concrete anchors

[kk9a at arrl.net]

Do you really need 120' tower?  If you use the standard 120 degree anchor
spacing you'll have less than a 53' guy radius, assuming that you can place
the tower in the ideal location of your lot.  You may be able to build a 90
or 100' tower with this radius, if you use beefed up guy anchors, guys and
maybe a stronger tower than Rohn 25G.  I would consult a PE before
constructing this.

The drawing I have for the gac305 anchor shows them angled but doesnt give
any hints on how to do it.  I know I need the hole to be 3x3x4 but from
there I'm not sure what I need to do to get the anchor in the right
position.

I have a yard that measures 180' long by 80' wide. I'm looking to install a
120' rohn 25g.  Can I run 4 sets of guys off the tower to make up for not
having the 120 deg span?

Thank you for your help

Bryan
