[TowerTalk] HG52SS base

[Michael Goins]

I recently purchased a HG52SS, and have a couple of questions about the base
for it.
One version of the manual has the base at 30"X30"X4'3"" and the other is
42"X42" X5'6". I lean toward the larger of the two, but the ground here is
rock. Solid rock. I need suggestions about jut how to dig/chip/blast a hole
that size here. Anyone put a tower into solid rock? Antenna will be a 2 el
quad on a 10 foot mast, but this is a forever tower-raising as this is
likely the final home.
