location in Nevada for contesting. I already have in place 10  cubic yards of
steel reinforced concrete with 1 inch diameter by 36 inch  long anchor bolts
imbedded in the concrete. The anchor bolts are spaced 9  inches apart which
will accommodate a US Tower tubular tower Model MA-770  with the MARB-770
free standing Rotor Base and the early Tristao 70 +/-  foot crank up tubular
towers.

Hiya, Ted --
 
    I wouldn't worry about the bolt pattern. The  existing bolts can be 
chopped off with a hand grinder and then you can  rent a drill with a concrete bit 
or a hammer drill to drill new holes.  Epoxy in the new anchor bolts and 
you're good to go. Construction guys do this  all the time and it works great. When 
you're done, the epoxy is typically  stronger than the concrete.
