[TowerTalk] [Tower Talk] Was something else - Now Radian specsvs. Peoria specs ??

[Clint Talmadge]

The dimensions for the anchors are 2' X 2' X 1" Thick and the whole thing 3' deep. The hole for each anchor would still have to be 2' X 2' X 4' .  Sorry about that --

  Don't know about the base dimensions but the anchor
  dimensions look all wrong! 2 ft X 2 ft X 1 foot
  deep???
  I'd be more worried about the anchors than the base.
  BTW, my 60 ft R25 base is 2 X 2 X 3.5 deep. I hit a
  layer of red shale and couldn't easily get the last
  half a foot. It's been up 29 years without issues.

  I'm really confused about those anchor dimensions!
