I have noticed that. No mater what you have someone usually chimes in that
it is not the best. I bet I could have said I put one section in 10 yards
of cement and had it guyed with a 2 meter ground plane on it and someone
would do the same. I was waiting on a comeback as to why it needed
improving.

The concrete might not be of good quality - Has a complte workup been
done on the composition? I thought not. Hell, that thing is likely to
fall, and completely obliterate a 10 block area! 8^)

I can not put the temporay guy wires on as they would still be where the
tree may fall. There are only 2 trees about a foot or so in diameter and
about 50 to 60 feet tall. Poplar trees without limbs for about the first 30
or so feet.It will only take a short to just cut them. I have seen towers
that don't look near as good stand up long times. I don't think it would be
any problem for the tower to stay up without guys if there was no wind. I
was hoping that someone on here had done something similar over the years
and could say the best way. Drop all wires , or just one side.


That part I couldn't tell ya. Can you guy the trees so to speak? Get a
rope around them somewhere far up and cut to fall in the direction you
want? Pulling on the attached rope via come-along might send them where
you need them to go.
