In 1972, I put up a used Heights 64' tower.  All their specs at the time 
required was 4'x4'x4' of concrete, no rebar.  Actually I put it up at 
two different  locations.  It is amazing to me how the base requirements 
have increased over the years.  But no one remembers any of the old 
bases failing.   Now that same tower requires twice as much concrete 
plus rebar.
