[TowerTalk] Tower Base rotated 5 to 10 degrees off correct bearings

[john at kk9a.com]

Yes this likely works if you treat it as a pier pin base, meaning installing
temporary guys as you erect the tower.  My issue is that it looks like the
tower is embedded into a 4'+ concrete base when it is really only a 1 ft
thick. Someone someday will remove the guys while dismantling the tower and
think it is safe to climb the remaining 40' of freestanding tower.

Cut it off leaving a few inches sticking out of concrete, put it in proper 
position, form and pour another foot of concrete.

Only purpose of the base is to keep it from sinking and stabilize it until 
first set of guys are in place.
