[TowerTalk] Concrete base - tower

[Steve Maki]

Sure, because they are trying to minimize concrete. A huge block of 
concrete always works, the same as a big tower works in place of a 
little tower. I'm trying to envision a situation where replacing dirt 
with concrete causes an issue....

That said, it's not THAT hard to do a pad & pier. You have to be ready 
when the concrete comes, same as always.
