[TowerTalk] Pipe for guy anchor

[Larry]

I used I beam material rather than pipe. I have a 25G (75ft)and 45G 
(100ft) both done that way. The I beams are anchored in concrete of 
course. I had tabs added to the I beam for the guy ends on the 25G posts 
and a 0.75 inch rod through holes in the I beam for the 45G. The guy 
tabs are about 6 feet above ground to allow my tractor  to run close but 
under the guys. Both towers have been up for years and through 
hurricanes and a tornado.

FWIW
