[TowerTalk] screw anchors

[Carrington, Walter]

In winter in MA (wind chill -30 last night),  my screw anchors will hold any tower up till the steel fails.  When the ground thaws in the spring it becomes much less secure. The screw anchor failure I read about happened when heavy rain turned the poor ham's soil to soup.  I imagine that professional installation of screw anchors involves testing the soil.
   By spring I hope to have a real tower up.
