Hi again everyone, I've been pondering this since last fall and thought I'd better start looking back into this. I got the idea from a neighbor of mine who has a 100' rohn 45G tower with a early 80's 1500 series Enertech on top of it. His tower has been up since the early 80's and still standing. Anyhow, the tower is resting in a couple yards of concrete and the anchors are those Utility Grade Screw in anchors in "SANDY SOIL". Like the one's sticking out of the ground near utility poles. I like the option of spending money on something and being able to take it with me if I were to move. From what I've seen the norm here is using reinforced concrete anchors. I would like to get a little input on what you might happen to think or personal experience. I, like most here are looking for ways to keep the costs down. Now, not everyone will have sutiable soils to work with an option such as this but it's another possiblity. From what I've been able to dig up, and it's not much, I'd be looking at an auger with a 10" diameter helix with a shaft of 1 1/4"'s. Oh, the lenght is an overall of 96". With those specs. I'd be tempted to make my own. At least try one to see if I could get one down that far. As far as my tower goes, it's a custom tilt up that I'm in the process of fabing up when time allows. Height is 80', gin is the standard 40' with my guy wires anchored on a 40' radius in four directions. Thanks again for your input and look forward to talking about this one. Chad
