[TowerTalk] Rohn GAR30 anchors for 55g tower?

[Richard Thorne]

Bryan,

I had this very question last year when I was getting the parts together 
for my 140' rotating 55g tower.

Gerald, K5GW, quickly set me straight.  While more expensive I ordered 
and installed the proper anchors, GAC3455.

Do not use the GAR30's.

I see the GAC3455 rods are typically the spec but have noticed a couple of tower install photos on the net of people using the GAR's with the 5 hole equalizer plates for 55g towers. The load rating on the GAR's 7,330 versus the 3455's of 17,670 is a huge difference so just might answer the question for me! Thanks for any feedback in advance!
