[TowerTalk] Rebar base for new 18HT installation?

[Allen Brier N5XZ]

I'm wondering if I need to install a rebar base for my new 18HT tower, or go with the standard "base tube assemblies" per the installation manual. The manual does state: "For extra security, steel reinforcing rods can be added to the base before the concrete is poured."

Tower will be installed in sandy soil (Texas Gulf Coast) and I am not currently planning to guy it.

Recommendations from the group?
