I have a 2 inch mast stuck in the ground which I use for antenna
assembly.
(A piece of old TV mast tubing 2" in diameter is used as the "drill" to
pull
out the dirt, several inches at a time, then insert a heavier 2 inch
mast).
Check alignment with a level.
After attaching the boom, the elements are leveled using a level sitting
on a piece of angle aluminum which has two pieces of 1 X 4 nailed
at each end to hold the level above mounting and/or matching hardware.
