I've recently acquired an older (mid 90s) Universal Tower, very similar in
specs to their current HD-21-60.
Looking at the plans, the foundation (5x5x6) calls for only the 3 base
legs, and no rebar is specified.

That 6 foot length of 2 inch tube would serve as a fairly decent
reinforcing.
Knowing K7LXC's advice to not do anything the manufacturer doesn't say, I
would be inclined to leave out the rebar.
However, both the city inspector and my concrete contractor both suggested
to add some rebar. The city won't decline it without it, he just advised
it. I was thinking about doing a very basic cage using 4 foot pieces of
rebar. I won't need anything fancy like some manufacturers require. Since
this is the place with many experts, I wanted to see what you folks thought
about it.
You could just wire some pieces crossways between the three posts. That
will help hold them in place while you pour the concrete.
Thanks.
