Hi Mike,
You could use the recommended Rohn pier pin, but it is kind of pricey at $219.
You really just want some lateral stability.
Alternately, augur a hole 4 or 5ft deep and just set a section of 55g in there, 
level it vertically.
I would probably fill the hole with cement around the 55g but if you're guying 
it, and it's so short, probably not needed.

I'm purchasing a 130ft Rohn 55 tower, which will have 3 sets of guys.
I plan on burying 5ft or so of the bottom section like I mentioned above. I'll 
be pouring some concrete though too.

What would one use for a base to erect a 30-40ft Rohn 55G? It would be guyed. 
Is it possible to have a non-concrete base?

Thank You,
Mike
