steel pipes filled with concrete, with about 5 feet in a block of concrete
in the ground and 5 above.

or 6 feet in a hole that is 12" diameter and filled with concrete. There's a
photo of two of them on my Web site, www.aa1k.us, under "Towers". I'll try
to get a couple more up in the next few days.
