I am sorry to hear that, Grant. I have to admit you lived my worst fear in 
digging but I finished today and had nothing more than hard dirt and some of 
the fattest fishing worms I ever did see to deal with.  73,

 We (K7LXC & I) ended up finding a unknown buried abandoned septic tank 
for my HDX589 base.  Moved over 5' and found a second one!  Concrete 
without rebar is legal structural fill so the humongous hole sucked up 
19 yards vs the 9 yards for the UST design.  Use a form to make it look 
good above ground and pour to have 6" of topsoil over the fill concrete.
