[TowerTalk] MA-550 Installation

[Mike Fatchett W0MU]

The tubular tower that I was looking for is actually a MA-550. The UST 
documents call for a hole 3x3x6 deep for the base.  I would prefer to 
use a 36 inch auger.  Has anyone done this?   The hole would need to be 
7.64 ft deep to account for the rounding of the corners to achieve the 2 
CU yards of concrete.

I would like to motorize the tilt over feature to be used in the field.  
I am looking for recommendations.

I you have other helpful hints I am all ears!
