No matter if you are doing the work yourself or hiring professional 
help I think that having the manufacturer's data and specs available 
is simply a 'must have' for a good tower project. There's too much at 
risk in terms of potential damage to property and life to not know 
what the manufacturer recommends for an installation of the tower 
model, height, etc.

I know there are some very knowledgeable amateurs and professionals 
here but I cringe anytime I read a message where someone says "I'm 
going to put up xx tower at a certain height. Do you think I should 
guy it? Do I really need all that concrete? ...etc."

My $0.02
