I have 29' of 25G and plan to get another section making 39'. I want a "no guy wire" setup so I need to pour a large foundation block.
Has anyone done this with this size?
I'm thinking 4' square and 3' deep. That would be just shy of 2 cubic yards.
Is this enough concrete?
I got some 1-1/8 stainless rod and plan to drill it so it will slide into the bottom of each of the legs. Each SS piece is about 30" long. I plan to weld some chunks of stainless plate on each leg so it won't pull out of the concrete or rotate etc.
The tower will mostly be protected from wind by some Doug Firs and we rarely get extreme winds. I think I will only put the yagi on the tower and leave the 5/8 where it is. I think the wind load of the antenna is about 5'
Ideas?
