[TowerTalk] field-day mast anchoring question

[Mike Smith VE9AA]

In 1996, at CY0AA, Sable Island, we were fortunate enough to be loaned the
BattleCreek Special.  IIRC, all the guys were 4' chunks of rebar and/or L
channel steel we pounded into the SAND (100% sand, no soil, rock, etc._)

 

It was never super windy while we were there, but winds were often
15-20knots (how many wmp that is, I don't know)

 

It never fell over !

 

FWIW
