For a 10' elevated guy anchor, you will need a very large hole and many
yards of concrete. See k5IU's bunker recommendation in WE9V's summary.

I have been reading few old messages on the list about elevated guys post.
I found an interesting table in one of the messages...most used materials are
"I" beams and 6" pipe.
I decide install the 50 ft tower in the backyard and I need add one 10 ft
high
guy post...the other 2 guy anchors are at that level.
I will dig a hole, about 3 ft deep and will put the first tower section. One
of my five tower section´s has problem on one leg on the bottom side and
will put it in that hole and will add concrete.
I have a question:
Instead of 6" Pipe or "I" beam, is it possible use HD rail used in the rail
line or railway as a guy post??.
Thanks,
73....Douglas, CO8DM
