I have an old Hygain catalog showing 42" X 42" X 72" base dimensions for  the 
HG54HD tower. If you need a new base cage I see they are listed as still  
available for only $289 through Texas Towers.

Hello  group,

Sorry for the earlier blank post......I forgot to turn off HTML  formatting.

I'm new to this, so please bear with me. I have searched  the archives for
this answer, but with no specific results, so maybe one of  you "enlightened
ones" will have an answer for me?

I have recently  acquired an old Hygain HG54HD crank-up tower with a
tilt-over base. I can't  seem to find out how much concrete I should pour for
the base, nor what the  dimensions should be. If anyone on the reflector has
the answer - or  perhaps a rule-of-thumb for such things, I'd sure appreciate
it.

The  fully extended tower is 54' and will not be guyed. It cranks down  to
approximately 21 feet in length before tilting. I am in coastal SC,  so
Tropical winds are a fact of life during the Summer. I don't plan to  leave
it standing under threat of a Hurricane, though.

Any info  appreciated.

73,

Butch K4NAU
