I assembledthe tower sections over a Winter and had it put it up in the Spring.  I don’t have the option to create the properbase since at the location I have only about 18 inches of soil then a solidgranite rock about a ¼ acre in size.  Mytower has a 2 ft. x 16 sq.ft pad of rebar and high strength concrete with 12six foot bolts drilled and epoxied into the granite rock.

Together they have well over 60 years’experience with commercial towers throughout Canada.  When putting up the antenna we had 10 to 15mph wind gusts and I thought we were through for the day since all three had tohandle the antenna but they did not want to come down.

If the “K7 tower guy(?)” actually purportsthat a Trylon HD tower is even close he is being professionallyirresponsible.  All of the towercompanies have increased their base specs; Rohn, Trylon, and AN.  Unless you need a PE sign-off, let yourconscience be your guide.
