here is what i have and what i am wanting to do,

as it "stands" now i have a rohn 20 tower at 40ft when i installed this 
tower about 10 years ago i didnt use a base plate so she is in 3x3x4 or 
close to that, in concrete since then i have become a ham and noticed the 
need for more tower work, what i am wondering is unstack the one cut it 
flush with the concrete make a hinge plate and bold it down to the existing 
concrete using heavy duty lag bolts? will this hold? we do not have alot of 
wind or ice here. i do not have this one guided off no room for it so 
getting down to it will it hold with out guy wires at a hight of 40ft, 
bolted down with lag bolts that i will have to drill into the existing 
concrete?

well what do you think
chris
