Fiberglass Mast Support

If you need a way to hold your fiberglass pole or need antenna mast support, you could use a bucket! This will allow you to hold the pole to support a dipole or other wire antenna.
Here is the PVC pipe: amzn.to/4agKLKv
Here is the Pipe Cap: amzn.to/3wSD6DM
Here is the flange: amzn.to/3Vifnat
I found it cheaper here at the links above. Get the bucket at your local hardware store.
It works nicely in a situation where you want it to be a temporary or even a permanent solution.

I'm getting the materials together to install my masts. My plan is for 2 masts. 1 mast will be 16 feet tall just outside the window next to my station to keep the feedline down to a minimum. The other mast will be about 60 feet away in the back yard. It will be 12 feet tall. The 2 masts will be used to support an EFHW. This method here will save me the time and effort digging down 2 feet in order to sink the 1-1/4" PVC pipe I will be using as a ground sleeve. The masts themselves are 4.5 foot steel tv antenna mast extension sections I got at Lowes for $7.50 each. There is about a 6" overlap between the sections as they swage together. This concrete in a bucket idea looks like the better option, because, as you said, it allows the assembly to be relocated as needed.

That sounds great! I’ve been wanting to try an EFHW! I’ve heard nothing but good results. Once the weather warms up I plan on doing a-b tests on various antennas. The things that excite me! Haha

You talk too much as evidenced by your 2 minutes of wasted time for the intro!
