[Antennas] Guy wire anchors

[Jack Painter]

In fact the advice to look to ROHN was good, as they disclose significant
details about anchoring and guying. Far more than any non-engineer should
require. They do not indulge such fantasy questions as homemade anchor
designs in varying soils that do not use concrete as the anchor point ;-)

I need to refine that question.  I am NOT looking for a place to
BUY hardware.

What I need is formulas for calculationg the wind resistance of a
round wooden pole and the resistance of an anchor to being pulled out
of SAND.  How much resistance does a 144 sq in plate or a 6" round
plate........give to being pulled through the sand and how deep does
it have to be burried to get max friction...etc....etc...AND possible
home designed anchors..in sand??? .... in concrete??...or in whatever/
