* Single piece of 21-Foot long Top-Rail {Metal Pipe}
* Free Standing with 3-Feet in the Ground
* Dig a 6"~8" 'Post-Hole with a Larger 3-Feet piece
of Metal Pipe centered in the Hole as a Sleave to
place the Top-Rail in; insert an 8-Foot Ground Rod
in the space between the Sleave and the outer-edge
of the Post-Hole; then and fill the outside area of the
Hole with Concrete.

I used one of those Radio Shack flat plates with a spike in the
middle, 2 [ea] 10' top rails, and a house clamp (oh yeah, a tin can
and 2 hose clamps) to hold my MFJ-1024 10' above house, on the
opposite corner from where the electricals come out of the dirt.
