Many thanks for the explanation, Joe.

In considering whether to forge ahead, do you have any suggetsions about 
finding some help 
making the claculations for this? It's a no name brand aluminum tower, 3 
sections each 8 
feet long. 2-3 feet woul dbe burie din concrete, and about 4 feet of HD steel 
mast out the top.
