A method previously used (at another QTH) was:

Mount Two l-SHAPED flanges to the top of the pole ... one about 4 or 5  
feet below the top flange.  The lower flange must be large enough for  
the rotor to be securely mounted on it.

Install a thrust bearing, appropriate for the mast/rotor/yagi, in the  
top flange.

Mount the rotor on the bottom flange, being certain that the flanges  
are secured to the pole with THROUGH-BOLTS, flat washers(both sides of  
the pole), lock-washers, and nuts.

My installation stayed up for many years with no problems.. YMMV.

Enjoy!
