Phil, if the rotator is located at the first guy level, the pier pin base
or concrete base is ok. In this case, you might consider using the six guy
torq assembly at the first guy level to help absorb the twisting force there.
If you locate the rotator near ground level as is often done, the pier pin
base is not an option unless you include a set of guys near the ground and
who wants to do that?

I am planning a rotating 55G tower. Understanding the current
preference to place a guyed tower on a pier pin baseplate, is this still
true for rotating the tower?
Thanks for input.
