Hmmm .. I always used to use a crowbar .. did not take long to do, and 
because of the way it could be hooked, was easier to not hit the ground as 
it went round and round.  Be sure the angle is towards the tower, unlike our 
old Boy Scout tent pegs...  but, suspect you know that!  HIHI  73, Mark ..
