[TowerTalk] Elevated guys post...

[Douglas Ruz (CO8DM)]

Hi,

I have been reading few old messages on the list about elevated guys post.

I found an interesting table in one of the messages...most used materials are "I" beams and 6" pipe.

I decide install the 50 ft tower in the backyard and I need add one 10 ft high guy post...the other 2 guy anchors are at that level.

I will dig a hole, about 3 ft deep and will put the first tower section. One 
of my five tower section´s has problem on one leg on the bottom side and 
will put it in that hole and will add concrete.

I have a question:

Instead of 6" Pipe or "I" beam, is it possible use HD rail used in the rail line or railway as a guy post??.

Thanks,
