    I don't know of any of those used for a tower guy anchor and I'm not an engineer but my advice is RUN away from these anchors. Easy to install - and in this case - easy to fail.

    Rohn specs call for thousands of pounds of concrete for a typical anchor. This wienie anchor cannot take hundreds of pounds of pulling tension. And yes, it'd make a terrific tent stake.
