[TowerTalk] Fwd: Guywires

[hanslg at aol.com]

 Hi,

If I remember it right, Dave, K1TTT has a tower up without any base, just a base plate right on the ground and a set of guy wires. 

Right, Dave?

And if you really want confusing facts, the Delhi/Taco self supporting
DMX - 68' in Canada specifies approximate (their wording) base widths of
46" x 48" deep bell bottom base.  Soil type is omitted.  So who is right
and who is wrong?

I'll run the race and I will never be the same again.

If you really want facts, the rohn catalog calls for a 2'6"x2'6'x4' base
for
180' of 55g.  but a 64' bx series rohn tower calls for a 5'9"x5'9"x4'
base.
