[TowerTalk] ?? web-based resources for towers, installation, approvals etc

In most cases the tower manufacturers will specify the foundations, 
guys, etc., to be used for a given load, wind speed, etc.

If you don't have those specifications (e.g., because the tower cannot 
be identified, or the manufacturer is no longer in business, or because 
it's a home-brew tower), I would say that the right way to do it is to 
consult an engineer. I'm not sure that a Web site can provide the needed 
information.
