Tnx Tim.
For background, I am PVRC, and I have had discussions with club members on my
plans.
W3LPL has provided good advice. Also had helpful emails with Don Daso and Jon
Zaimes.
I had some interest in the American Earth anchors, but I posed my question more
to begin a general discussion on anchors than my application. But if there
was a very positive response on the American Earth anchors, I would consider
using them, pricey as they are.
You make a good suggestion to connect with manufacturers and follow their plan, but
it’s not doable in my case. I am putting up an Army surplus AB-621
tower/mast. It came without guys, so I am planning the guys right now, and will buy
Phillystran, Big Grips, etc. from DXE, around $500-600, maybe more.
Then consult an engineer who can do the loads analysis for you. ARRL has
a VCE program to find engineers. The engineer can do the analysis and
essentially provide the "do what the manufacturer recommends" guidance.
