It's on page 61.

It's a 2' square piece of stainless with spikes at each corner to stick
in the ground and some sort of mounting arrangement in the center for
masts. Unfortunately, they want $110 for it.

That would be perfect ... BUT MAN $110 ... bit steep.

Surveyor's tripod... Much more rugged, adjustable. A CST brand one might
set you back $130 at Home Depot, but that's not the cheapest source.

Crain brand aluminum tripods show up online at $60-70 on sale.
(e.g.

from googling.. I've never used this vendor..)


You want something cheaper... what about a standard steel fence post
(T-stake).. hammer it in, hook the antenna up, and you're done. Use a
car jack to pull it out when you're ready to go.


Or, one of those bases for a patio umbrella. Either the cast iron or
concrete ones, or the ones you fill with water or sand.

Or, some antiskid base (a little spike, like a tent stake) and some
nylon rope guys to tent stakes, or weights.
