Dear towertalkers,

The are claims in a discussion on Face Book that an anchor bolt, "5/8 in. x 12 
in. Hot-Galvanized", is suitable for a free standing tower. Someone even claims 
it is used for a 400' freestanding tower. It doesn't make sense to me but I 
might be overly pessimistic.

I hate to start lengthy discussions and this might be one of them so, please, 
comment only if you have a well grounded answer. I'm sure there are plenty of 
opinions about it like my own, but I would like to know if my guts feeling is 
right or wrong. What I am afraid of is that you can pull out an anchor bolt 
like that right out of curred concrete.

73 de,

Hans - N2JFS
