Charles:
Merry Christmas back at ya.
For installations in bedrock, you can use rock anchors such as shown on
this page from the Trylon tower web site:
http://www.trylon.com/lightdutytowers/selfsupporttwrs_foundationdesign.asp .
But you really ought to consider having a PE design your foundation based on
local soil/rock conditions with which he should be familiar.
Good luck with the project.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Towers, and bedrock
Hi,
First - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
There is a chance (small, but it's there) - that I will be getting a 2nd QTH in
the near future
The think is, in that general area of the country, unless you live in the
bottom of a valley, you usually hit bedrock within a foot or 2 of the surface -
and if you choose right/wrong, you often have NO soil over the bedrock (or a
couple of inches)
How do you put up a tower in that situation?
BTW I know of exactly ONE in ground pool in the area - it was put in by the
owner of the local heavy equipment and blasting company - the pool took
significant amounts of ANFO to get dug
