[Antennas] Tower

Then you should be ready to go, and don't forget
that normal concrete takes ~ 30 days to cure ...
Look at the Rohn site again and you'll find the
length of the normal base section if you are
considering cutting the 6' section down ... thats
not a big thing.
The big thing here, is to follow the Rohn specs
and use the proper base size and concrete for your 
setup, which needs to follow the self-supporting
page, not the one for the guyed towers.
