[TowerTalk] Hy-Tower base

[Bill Ogden]

I was thinking of either an adapter plate for the bolts existing in my old 
TX-455 base or drilling holes in my existing base.  With industrial 
equipment, I suspect ther holes would be an easy job.  With my small tools 
drilling three 1 1/2 deep holes might be a job.  I assume they would need 
to be, for example, at least 18" deep. 

Am still thinking about it.  Thank you for the help!

Bill,
 
The Hi Tower base is a hinged T and it mounts to the  EARTH with three 1 ¼ 
“ od tubes that affix to the three  insulators.
 
IMO  you need to rent a CORE drill  to drill into your exsiting base  and 
EPOXY the tubes in the holes

I am contemplating buying a Hy-Tower (AV-18HT) but would like to mount it
on an existing concrete pad. This pad held a TX-455 until recently, is in
good shape, and is certainly large enough. Has anyone done something like
this? How to adapt the Hy-Tower base to an existing concrete pad?  As
expected, I had no response from MFJ/hy-gain when I sent them the question
and the Hy-Tower product manual is not very helpful.
