Both are supported by 8' ground rods tapped in a few feet; the
ALA1530 is on a galvinized pipe slipped over the ground rod,
with a floor flange screwed on the bottom so it doesn't sink
into the ground, making it rotatable by hand. The coax comes off
the outside of the pipe and makes a few turns looped around the pipe
for slack, this loop being covered by a stove burner reflector
against lawnmower attacks.
The bird feeder is supported by the antenna rather than vice
versa, incidentally.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.
Any chance of you posting medium and tight close ups of the DA100Es?
A friend in Flagstaff is dealing with (fighting) overly restrictive
condo rules
and I sent him the photo of the Wellbrook. He may be able to sneak, as
in
be granted persmission, a vertical active antenna into his backyard.
He was allowed to errect a Rat Sahck Diskcone but that makes a very
poor
HF antenna.
Thank you
