Default What is the best method of mounting a pvc-tube fitted Slim Jim?

Hi everyone!

At last (after some years) I will build a weather protected Slim Jim,
fitted into a pvc tube.
I have found the right method of calculating the dimensions and I expect
no problems so far.
But...after all is done, the antenna will have to be mounted to the mast
(metal). What is the best way of mounting such an antenna? I have
searched the web, but I could not find anything.

At this site
(http://www.trival-antennas-masts.com...com/Frames.htm) I found
this mounting frame, but because it is made of a conducting material
perhaps it is not a good idea...
May be the pvc tube can be mouted directly to the mast using two of
three giant cable ties, but perhaps this will put the antenna too close
to the conducting mast...

Thanks for thinking about this and thanks in advance!

Luc
