OPERATIONAL EVALUATION OF MULTIPURPOSE GUY STAKES FOR ANTENNA ANCHORING.
Abstract
The report describes the results of an evaluation of a guy stake that was developed to satisfy the antenna anchoring requirements of communication systems in various soil types. Characteristics of this Multipurpose Guy Stake such as: ease of insertion, extraction, holding power, and durability were compared with 6 ground anchors now in common use for antenna anchoring. It was concluded that the test item was significantly superior to the other stakes tested and a recommendation was made to adopt the Multipurpose Guy Stake for use with the Radio Set AN/TRC-97, and to consider it for use in other ground anchoring applications.
