Yeah, but Dave's ground is New England bedrock!
It's not going anywhere.  

I had 45g up 60' in Vermont, with only two house brackets,  and no foundation, too.
2' into the ground, we hit a big-ass rock that wasn't going to move.   So I
didn't argue with it...and it didn't, for the 5 years the tower was up.  

The one thing I did was very methodically measure the extent of any
vertical or horizontal creep.   Until I got tired of measuring no change....
