I've got a TX-472; the problem is that at this QTH there is a
limestone hardpan at about 5' depth. The original engineering
drawing calls for a base of 4X4X7' deep. The latest drawing,
available in .pdf form from their website, now calls for
5X5X6.5'.

I'm hoping somebody here has run into a similar problem
and can provide dimensions; UST says their engineer
can draw it up, but for $300 or so. Needless to say, cheaper
or preferably is always better. I can afford to send 'em
the $ I bought the tower used, it's not like they "owe" me,
but if I *have to* spend the bucks, I might be inclined to
see if a local PE with the appropriate skills could do it,
just in case there ever were an issue with permitting, etc.,
although I definately don't think that will happen, no permits
req'd in this county for amateur towers below 200' at this time.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
