If you believe K5IU, you need a lot of concrete to do this properly. I
used them in Aruba, but I cannot remember the beam size. The ground was
hard coral/rock and I did not use a large amount of concrete. There is a
nice summary of elevated anchors by WE9V in of all places the towertalk

Howdy --
I'm trying to get an idea of a good size for a 6' elevated guy anchor
(with 4 feet in the ground and it'll have a backstay). It's for 100' of
45G. I was thinking of using an 8" flange length. That might be enough since
it'll be backguyed but since I'm not an engineer, I was looking for some
feedback on this. TIA.
Cheers,
Steve K7LXC
