Modifications:

090717, jwm     Added readings by Ned Patton on 7/17/09.  Note roughly 100-lb drop on each, but there was no shift on the anchors/base per-paint applied; ie stretching.

090828, egp Anchors did not exhibit any shifting, added new readings to the tables above.

091001, csg  Anchors looked good.  Tensions were fine.  May need some tensioning on South guy-wires soon.

100528, egp  Anchors looked good, not shifting.  Kurt recommends re-tensioning guy wires complete with transits to re-plumb tower.  July 2010?

7/22/10 re-tensioned all guy wires using transits to plumb tower, also replaced 7m & 15m trh cables as well as 7m trh sensor.

111014, csg  Check tensions.  All looked great!

8/15/2012:  csg  Tower looking a little odd up top.  Ned did notice the tower was a little wabbly towards the top.  Tower should be re-tensioned this year.
