According to your figures, Rohn specifies a much larger tower base
(5'9"x 5'9"x4') than does Delhi (46" x 46" x 48" deep bell bottom base)
for essentially the SAME tower. So who is right?

The manufacturer is right, they have done the design for their towers.
You
can, if you want to pay for it, have it redesigned to your
specifications or
to fit a situation that wouldn't permit the original design.
