How big a sst are you building?
The two common methods are pier or pad & pier
Pier will almost always require a driller. Pad and Pier can allow you to
excavate with a backhoe or track hoe, so it can be more do-it-yourself. But
compacting it will requite a lot of work and dry soil conditions.
The depth is dependant on soils analysis. Wind load, and tower design
requirements. The manufacturer will typically provide this or you can try
Hardy Engineering in Trussville, AL.
The manufacturers do provide typical designs but know that the ultimate
capacity of what you do in the air is directly related to what you bury.
Good luck!

Subject: Re: [WISPA] Tower hole size
The engineering for tower mounting is available on the websites of most
tower manufacturing and only costs $ if you want wet ink docs. This is
no place for short cuts and I would suggest overbuilding your tower
supporting base to a fault.
