I have no details, but in the promotional video they have it looks like
4 450Ms and 2 2or3' dishes at the top of what looks like a 100' pole.

Would that be true even on these that bolt onto a concrete base? I
would think that a 80' pole would be 80' if it's bolting on a base.
Install of $3-4k, what was the actual pole cost?

Bore hole, assemble pole sections, drop in hole, back fill, and
hydraulic compaction. I'm positive we can't get that price today,
but I'd imagine $3000-$4000 for installation. Obviously it's
different if it's your own derrick truck.

above the center of gravity so couldn't tip it into the hole. Even
so, crane service for a few hours was only an extra $500 or so.
