[TowerTalk] Installation procedures for the Rohn GAS604 screw anchor

[Joe - WDØM]

I did exactly as they suggested - a 4 foot section of pipe and start going 
around in a circle......don't get too dizzy.  The longer the length, the 
more leverage.  My installation was in Alaska.  It held the tower against 
100 plus mph winds.  Took about 10 minutes for each earth anchor to sink it 
5 feet into the ground.
