You can do it pretty easily by running a buss wire or a piece of soft drawn
copper pipe to form a ring around the base of the vertical and attaching the
radials and the shield of the feedlin to it. I used a piece of 2" copper
strap around the base of my vertical.
You should use silver solder to attach the radials to the buss since
copper/tin solder deteriorates when exposed to the elements.
