Looking at the plans, the foundation (5x5x6) calls for only the 3 base

In 1972, I put up a used Heights 64' tower. All their specs at the time
required was 4'x4'x4' of concrete, no rebar. Actually I put it up at
two different locations. It is amazing to me how the base requirements
have increased over the years. But no one remembers any of the old
bases failing. Now that same tower requires twice as much concrete
plus rebar.
