Default Aluminum tubing for vertical antenna

How are you planning on mounting the alum. tubing at ground level?
And what, if any, means are you considering to provide for tipping it
over?
I wonder if it is practical to install say, 4X4 posts in the ground
about 5 inches apart, with another 4X4 as the vertical support for
the aluminum pole. The aluminum pole bolted to the 8 foot long 4X4 at
about the 6 foot level. Would the wood detune the antenna?


I have mine with the bottom mounted at 20 ft using 2x4s.
The tubing is isolated from the 2x4s by a sleeve of PVC
pipe. There is no noticeable detuning by the wood support.
