[TowerTalk] Earth Anchors

[Joe - WDØM]

I used the Texas Towers earth anchors for my 40 
foot Rohn 25G in Alaska that carried a Mosley 
Pro57B-40 and a Cushcraft 5L 6M antenna.  It was 
mounted on the edge of a bluff overlooking the 
ocean at about 1300 feet.  It withstood 125 mph 
(recorded) wind gusts and never pulled out of the 
ground.  When I moved to Colorado, I tried 
removing them - and simply gave up and buried the 
tops of the anchors.  They work.

73,
