Wouldn't this violate the LXC Prime Directive for Rohn 25G through 65G 
towers?  As far as I can tell, the latest Rohn catalog specifies pier pin 
bases only for guyed towers.  I suppose you might find an engineer who would 
sign off on a conrete buried base."

I just looked on line and I see no reference to that. On 45G they show and talk about the gravel in the bottom of the hole, tower legs placed on the gravel so they drain, etc etc. But then, maybe I'm looking at the wrong page......... OR maybe pier pin for really tall towers. My 40', 45G, is "in the ground". Now if I was lucky/brave enough for 80' or more, I would probably go pier pin. As always, YMMV.
