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!

This is no place for short cuts and I would suggest overbuilding your tower supporting base to a fault.
