It's hard to beat cored brick as an antenna counterweight. The three-hole or
the six-hole have many of the same advantages as rocks; they weather slowly,
they are available wherever buildings are being created or destroyed,
usually for free, and they have the added advantage of built-in mounting
hard-points.
