What's wrong with sticking a 1/4 wave or 5/8 wave loaded verticle into

verticle bolted to a pipe I stuck in the ground about 3 feet. Been in
the ground for a couple years and works very good on 10m.

Hang a flag at the top and there ya go - it's a flag pole.

Bob,

I have the 5BTV too, and love it. But if he is using it for local, forget it. I
have am Imax in a tree about 36 feet high, and the 5BTV ground mounted. The 5BTV
gets out all over with DX, but is terrible locally because it is ground mounted.
