Screw in a a 2x4 about 2 foot wide to the house...then use Plumbers Tape to
mount the mast to the 2x4.   Use lag screws on the plumbers tape.  Make
sure
you secure the bottom.  I usually use a red brick with a holes...drive a
pipe in the ground at the bottom about two feet down and slip the mast over
the pipe.

Won-t move for years.

One more idea to add top this one.  If you can find conduit or water pipe u
clamps fo the correct size to fit the mast, they cna be used to attach to
the 2x4 or house if its flat.  I have done this to mount 1 meter DBS
satellite dishes to side walls.  If the mast rotates in the clamps, you cna
drill thru and add a screw to pin them together. 73 Jim KI7Y
