Hi,

I'm pretty new to this tower business; I just moved somehwere where I 
need to put up a 50'-ish tower to get service from my local WISP.

I have a bunch of Rohn 25G that was given to me. I noticed Rohn sells a 
drive-in base (SDB25G). I live in central Missouri with very clayey 
soil; do you think such a base, with sufficient guying, would be alright 
for me to use? (Alternatively, I may make my own dirt base that's longer 
for more stability.) I don't plan to use the tower for much, so I'm not 
too concerned with maximum wind loading.

I have other questions about self-standing towers, but I'll ask those in 
a different thread.

Thanks,
--Nathan
