[TowerTalk] Guy anchors for AB-577

[N4ZR]

After spending a frustrating afternoon trying (and failing) to drive a 
single helical guy anchor for my AB-577 tower, I'm looking for a better 
solution. I'm trying very hard to avoid excavation, concrete, 
etc.because I will need to restore the site to pristine condition in a 
few years. I came across a product called a duckbill anchor that claims 
3000 lb working load in normal soil, and can be driven with a sledge or 
an electric jackhammer, leaving a cable end that is then pulledon to 
"flip" the anchor into its final position.

Anyone ever used these with a tower, AB-577 or otherwise?  Any reason 
not to give them a try?
