I'm going to put up 130 feet of Rohn 45. According to the book, I need to
anchor at 104 feet with a GAC34 and 4 x 4 x 1.5 feet of concrete down 4 feet.
I'd like to raise the anchor point so I don't decapitate myself when I cut the
lawn. I think that an I beam will be better than pipe but don't know how to
calculate how much concrete, what size I beam and how much of it to bury. I
would like to have the guy point 4 or 5 feet off the ground. Any ideas other
than "hire an engineer?"
thanks in advance. 73, Bruce
