Good day Cecil,

I helped a fellow at one time that used a material named "Glastic" solid
rod to insert at the base of the tower between section divides. He had
used a partial section of tower to place in the ground instead of the
other methods commonly used to mount the tower.

You can review the specs at http://www.glastic.com/


Regards,
Paul

kc1xx http://xxtowers.com/ sells parts they use for insulating broadcast
towers for rohn-25 that is much cheaper than the rohn section. His setup
includes 2 plates that go on the top and bottom of the sections and a
porcelain insulator that bolts between them. I've got 4 of them sitting in
the shed waiting to go in the new 80m 4-square later this summer, they sure
look plenty hefty for the job!

Gives me an idea, one of the guys has some big pocelan stand off used in
building substations. Three of these on a metal plate might work.
