Hi Tom, these towers are made by Thomas Shelby Co in Ohio now and you find
them with a Google search.
Some users have made their own base stubs by purchasing a 10ft length of
galvanized pipe and cutting into three pieces. The size that is just less
than 2" OD will work just fine. Then you will need to drill two holes in each
pipe piece to match the bottom section mounting. Six bolts can then be used
to fasten the pipes to the tower legs.
If you are concerned about water collecting in the pipes and subsequently
freezing/splitting you can place six inches or so of crushed rocks in the
bottom of the foundation hole to allow drainage. Or you could fill the pipes
with concrete but that is a messy job.

I have purchased a used Rohn HDBX-48 to be installed at my new QTH. What
do I need in the way of Mounting materials (mounting stubs,etc) and more
importantly, where can I get them.
Does anyone know who actually stocks them. Can they be manufactured by an
individual? I can't even find a picture of what one should look like.
Thanks in advance...
