What is the Base Holding Up My Hexbeam?

William Noble asks about the base used to hold up my MFJ-1846 Hex Beam antenna. The actual base that allows for a fold-over mast was designed by friend Mike Bergman and welded by his son Carson. It’s held to the ground by four 3-foot stakes and is exceptionally sturdy. Many thanks to Mike and son!
