[TowerTalk] MA-550 Installation

[jc-smith at comcast.net]

Hi Mike,

I did exactly that same thing years ago.  Used an auger to dig the base for my MA-550MDP.  I also had the motorized raising fixture.  Unfortunately, I'm away from home and don't have access to my plans/permit stuff.  You'll probably hear from someone else about this but if not, keep in touch and I'll dig out my info when we get home.

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!
